How to disable Bing on a Windows 10 PC from showing results in the Search Box
Table of contents:
Microsoft is trying to encourage the use of Bing and is doing so by all possible means. Of all of them, Windows is perhaps the most propitious to make us use its proposal instead of the Google search engine, the tool best known by the vast majority of users.
"In fact, when using the Search Box in Windows 10 we will see that the results of any term we enter are those offered by Bing. Very useful, however you may not want these results to appear and only focus on applications, utilities and files on the PC.And it is that disabling Bing is very easy just by following these steps and thus not see its results when you search for content in the Search Box. "
Bing will stop displaying results
"We will have to use the Registry Editor and make some changes, although they will be minimal and of course, reversible without major problems. With this system, you won&39;t see Bing results when you search for something on your PC."
"We will enter the Registry Editor>Regedit in the Search Box>Run as administrator among the options that we see on the screen. The objective is to go to the path that appears in italics below these lines and in which the last folder is called Explorer"
In case of not having said folder we can easily create it.With the mouse we place ourselves on the folder Windows and with the right button of the trackpad or mouse we press and in the pop-up menu we choose New and then New Key Named Explorer."
This is how we create the Explorer folder "With the folder in question already in our file tree, now we have to click on the folder Explorer and again we will see the same popup menu than before."
We will use the option New>DWORD (32-bit) Value which we will call DisableSearchBoxSuggestions. "
"Once created, we use the right mouse button again and click on this value to edit its properties in Modify. At this point and in the Value information section we will mark the value 1. "
Once these changes have been made we can close the Registry Editor>it only remains to restart the PC to appreciate the changes. We will no longer see Bing results when performing a search."
"Y If at a certain time we want to have Bing searches again, just enter the created route again and in the folder Explorer>"
