there are apps to declutter and fix things like this
You can disable the search function to the internet and have your computer only look for files installed on your computer.
User error
Im so glad I ditched windows for Linux. No regrets.
*I don’t know what that is, but I could ask Bing perhaps!*
– The Search Bar Troll
Open CMD as Admin and use this short script, it will disable suggested search, you can create a .bat file or just run commands in the following order:
`REG ADD “HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSearch” /V BingSearchEnabled /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F`
`taskkill /f /im explorer.exe`
`start explorer.exe`
The first line creates a registry DWORD entry in this location
`HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSearch`
And sets it’s value to 0, you can do it manually with regedit.
The second line stops explorer.exe (File Explorer), you can also do this in Services.msc manually.
Third line starts explorer.exe(File Explorer) also can be done manually.
Use CrapFixer to remove all that.
Why do you have the pornhub color scheme 🤨
Worst search in the world, how Microsoft does this I don’t really know. Try search “flix” – 0 matches.
You can fix this, but you shouldn’t have to.
It happens because you’re still using Windows. If users tolarate the abuse from Microsoft and don’t switch OSes… then that will keep happening and getting worse and worse because some button pusher at MS has monthly bing searches as a KPI metric or whatever.
And change the settings of that. Don’t know why people recommend installing stuff when it’s literally a setting
