- flohofwoe 6y agoThat only works in the "professional" Win10 version, not the "amateur" version that's usually preinstalled.
- rewgs 6y agoAh, right, yeah. Admittedly I never think about Home, as I've just come to accept the quality of life upgrade that comes with Pro (this being one of them), regardless of the machine.
- cbsks 6y agoYou mean the "Don’t search the web or display web results in Search" group policy? It doesn't work for me. Neither does setting the AllowSearchToUseLocation, BingSearchEnabled, and CortanaConsent registry entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search to 0 (from https://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-bing-web-search-results-in-windows-10-start-menu/ https://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-bing-web-search-resul...) I've tried everything. I'm considering asking my IT department for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/), but that seems like a huge hassle.
- rewgs 6y agoHmm, weird. I just set up a new machine at home with Windows 10 Pro and it worked just fine. No more web search. Perhaps since you're at work there's something else negating it?
