I want to disable that windows 10 pro gives me web search results when typing something into the start menu bar: this thing here

but i could not figure out how to do that. The only working method i knew and could find online was opening the Registry-Editor,

enter image description here

pasting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer into the bar, then creating a new DWORD named DisableSearchBoxSuggestions and set it to 1. But now windows won't let me do this anymore: enter image description here as you can see, i can't click it. (I did run the registry editor as Admin)

Is there any working method to disable the windows search bar giving you internet search results?

Thanks in advance :)

  • What are the permissions on the keys. You definitely should be able to create the key, since it's required, to disable what your looking to disable. – Ramhound Mar 21 '22 at 20:16
  • Be sure you are attempting to modify this key as an Administrator. There is no other method to disable the web search results.. You will need to determine, the reason you don't have permissions, to the registry key in question. – Ramhound Mar 21 '22 at 20:20
  • Ramhound, as stated in my post I did run it as administrator. It did not work – User1986 Mar 22 '22 at 10:54

    So what are the permissions of the keys? Looking at my own computer, and the previous answers I have submitted, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer isn't even the correct registry key. It also does not exist on my system. – Ramhound Mar 22 '22 at 12:53
