I can't find my Office 365 launcher in my start menu but I do have the EXCEL, WORDS and other apps after I reinstalled. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Of course the App Launcher, your quick-start to all Office 365 applications: The Office 365 App Launcher is available across all Office 365 services, like SharePoint, OneDrive, Word, Excel, Planner, Power BI.

If you have users with one of the Office 365 User view access to Project and Roadmap, a Project tile will display in the Office 365 App Launcher.

An admin may want to keep the Project tile from displaying for the user in some situations, such as:

If the user does not have a Project license and does not care to view Project for the web projects or roadmaps.
If the user has a Project license, but doesn't use Project for the web or Roadmap.

To remove the Project tile from the App Launcher for a user, an admin needs to remove the Project for Office service for the user’s Microsoft 365 or Office 365 license in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Important

Removing the Project for Office service will not only remove the Project tile, but will also no longer allow the user to view Project for the web projects and roadmaps.

To remove the Project tile for an individual user

In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, select Users, then select Active Users.
From the Active users list, select the checkbox next to the user, and then click Manage product licenses.
On the user information page, select the licenses and apps tab, in the Apps section, select the user's Microsoft 365 or Office 365 license from the Show apps for drop-down menu.
In the list of apps that display, uncheck Project for Office, and then click Save changes.

You can repeat this procedure for each user that you don't want to use Project for the web.

To remove the Project tile for multiple users

If you need to remove the Project tile for a large number of users, it may be easier for an admin to do this task through Windows PowerShell instead of through the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Make sure to use the latest Azure Active Directory module.

Again, note that removing the Project for Office service will not only remove the Project tile, but will also no longer allow the user to view Project for the web projects and roadmaps.

In Windows PowerShell, type and enter the following to sign into your tenant.
After connecting to Azure Active Directory, you can use the following to get a list of the Office 365 or Microsoft 365 licenses that have view access to Project for the web and Roadmap on your tenant.
You can use the following script to help you to disable the Project for Office service plan for specific users and their associated license. For each user, you will need to know the $skuPart value for their license (you can find this value in the results of step 2).
