How to Disable Web Search in Start Menu on Windows 11
How to disable web search in Start Menu on Windows 11 is what I’ll show you in this quick tutorial. If Windows Search keeps showing Bing results and web suggestions, this guide will help you make Start menu search cleaner and focused on local results.
In this video, you’ll learn how to remove web search suggestions from the Windows 11 Start menu using Registry Editor. This can help Windows Search focus more on your apps, settings, and files instead of showing unnecessary online results.
We’ll test the search first using “backup,” then create the correct Registry key and value to disable web suggestions. I’ll also show you how to undo the change if you ever want to bring web results back.
