One of the most annoying things about Windows 11 (and 10) is the way Windows 11 tries to push Bing results through the operating system’s search feature. Maybe you just want to find shortcuts to your favorite apps or the Word document you’re working on. However, instead of retrieving a list of results from your computer, Bing displays search results.
Even if you click the search box for the first time, you have to wait a few seconds for Windows to display a list of featured MSN.com news articles and search results. This is the extra time Microsoft is wasting while waiting for the UI to promote its own web content and services.
Fortunately, disabling Windows Web Search is easy with a few registry tweaks. These steps work for both Windows 11 and Windows 10.
How to disable web search in Windows 11 or 10
1. open regedit. You can get there by searching for “regedit” and clicking the top result. Click Yes When prompted for User Account Control.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.
3. Create a new key (aka folder) named Explorer. and Move there. To create a key, right click in the right pane and select[新規作成],[キー]and rename it to Explorer.
Four. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) registry key and Name it “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions”. To create a new registry key, right-click in the right window pane and select[新規作成],[DWORD]then select
Five. Double-click DisableSearchBoxSuggestions. to edit it and Set value data Set the field to 1 and click OK.
6. Close Registry Edit and reboot.
From now on, you’ll have a fast-loading search menu that doesn’t pull article promotions or thumbnails from MSN.
And when you search for something that doesn’t exist on your PC, you get a simple “not found” answer instead of a list of web search results that Windows fetches from the Internet in seconds.
