Microsoft 365 installed 2 copies of every app
So this is an odd one. I don't exactly know when I got 2 versions installed as I updated win 10 today to 20H2 but as PC is only 2 months old, it can't have been long ago. I only noticed today as the new versions have really tiny icons which is what made me look at them. They were showing in newly added apps section - https://i.imgur.com/COGfdSa.jpg
I have two different versions of word, for instance. I have Version 2009 (Build 13231.20390), which according to Microsoft is currently the newest version and I have version 16.0.13416.41000 installed that I can't find anywhere on the web.
The help in version 13416 talks about Office online, and if I now open a Onedrive file it loads it in a browser and adds an Office toolbar but if I create a new office document, it doesn't use the old Word version but a new one.
If i look in Apps listing it only shows 1 listing of Microsoft 365.
I can see the newest version on Insiders is not even up to this version so?? Office Insiders
I wonder who at Microsoft messed up lol

i think they merged office online into Microsoft 365 but i can't find any proof. there are some weird things going on. The new versions wanted me to add the Office.com app to start menu but if i use it to create a new document it starts the 2009 versions of the apps, and ignores fact the new word can create documents as well.
I feel like I am beta testing it.

Mystery solved. Microsoft force installed the office online apps. Its still messed up.
