It takes literally a click to deactivate it though. One could argue about Bing Search being the default, but I didn’t run the user surveys to see, which is best for the average user.
- solumunus 9mo agoThe best is none. I have no idea why anyone would want a web search there.
- adithyassekhar 9mo agoEither I am stupid or you're being dishonest. There is no one click way to disable it. Only on pro versions of windows, with a group policy otherwise a couple of obscure registry keys no regular users know.
- bytefish 9mo agoI stand corrected. I didn’t know the Home Version has no option to disable it. You are right for calling me out.
- user34283 9mo agoNo group policy is needed on Windows 11 Pro, it's in the settings: --- Type something in the Start menu Top right meatballs menu button 'Search settings' 'Let search apps show results' -> Off (or disable only Bing) --- I don't know about the Home edition.
- mjmas 9mo agoThat doesn't appear for me. Win 11 Pro 25H2.
- user34283 9mo agoAfter you typed a Search term, there is no menu button at the right on the same vertical row as the 'All / Apps / Documents' bar? You can also launch that Settings page by running in powershell: Start-Process "ms-settings:cortana-windowssearch" Or just 'Settings' and in the left navigation 'Privacy & Security' -> 'Search'
