Windows 10: 2004 defer updates and deactivate web search - no longer possible?

Hello everybody,

did I miss something, or is it now with 2004 no longer possible to delay quality updates by x days even under Pro?

The web search (search field in the taskbar) can no longer be deactivated - right?
I am familiar with the "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" workaround, but there are disadvantages.
Does anyone have another solution?

Thanks and regards,
Martin

Looking for a particular web site ?

I remember seeing this here but i can't find it using the search thingy.

A guy posted a web site that had a comprensive list of all Windows update 32&64. I used to have it in my favorites before i formatted my HD.

Does someone know it?

They suggested a sticky for it but they never did.

Windows search no longer works after 2004 update

Hi. After updating Windows to 2004, Windows search no longer works. Every time I click on the search box on the desktop nothing happens. No cursor, no visual sign that I even clicked on it. I also noticed that Cortana has disappeared from the settings app. Don't know if its related but thought i'd mention it. Does anybody know what might be wrong? Thanks.
