Hi everyone,
I wanted to share the steps to disable web results in Windows Search using the Windows Registry. Please note a word of caution: those with the technical know-how only should attempt these steps. Others, please excuse yourselves, as I am not going to take any liability if you mess up and have to troubleshoot later. Here are the steps to disable web results via the Start button search box: 1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box. 2. Type `regedit` and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. 3. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer *(Note: If the Explorer key does not exist under Windows, right-click the Windows key, select New > Key, and name it Explorer.)* 4. Inside the Explorer key, right-click an empty space on the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it `DisableSearchBoxSuggestions`. 5. Double-click `DisableSearchBoxSuggestions` and set its value data to `1`. 6. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc). 7. Find "Windows Explorer" in the list of processes, right-click it, and select Restart. Your PC will flash, wait at least 5 seconds before you hit any key, it is recommended that you restart your computer after this process. Now when you search using the edit box in the windows search you will only get local results on your PC and not everything on the web from Bing. We spend our lives navigating the narratives others have written for us. If you are ready to stop being a ghost in your own story and engage with the quiet, often uncomfortable truths of identity and self-mastery, then walk this path with me.
