  1. [Start Search] Disable Best Match Result Preview?


    Hi all,

    Just updated in the first time after probably 2 years (couldn't update before, long story), and i notice that the start search is now way wider and has this really annoying preview option that's essentially useless.

    How do i disable that? (through registry editing, third party program modification, etc?)

    Cheers.

    Disable Store and Web search in Start Menu

    Hello
    SystemSupport346,


    Since the steps above did not work for you, we suggest that you disable web search by navigating the settings of Cortana itself. Please follow the steps below:

    • Open the search box in the taskbar.
    • Click the Notebook icon.
    • Click Settings from the list.
    • On the Settings page, turn off the Cortana can give me suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts and more option.
    • Turn off the Search online and include web results. See screenshot below:
