    Cannot disable web search in search settings.

    Hello,

    May we know if you are logged in as administrator in your device? If yes, we suggest that you create a new user and check if the issue persists.

    Update us on the results.

    Regards.

    Hi,
    Yep group policy is useless
    You might try opening task manager and killing it there,
    My drive died so I never got to test that part
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I read that Bing desktop search should be listed :/
    Possibly in start up ?
    Cheers.

    In group policy Select Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Search and then enable:

    Do not allow web search and Don't search the web or display web results in search.


    disable web search [​IMG]


    See if that does the trick

    Sorry, just re-read the OP and misread it, I though you were searching the registry not the Group Policy. Strange as I had success with the GP method

    Alright, I take it back. Initially I wasn't getting web results, but also no results in my Start menu. Then I did a restart and everything is back to the way it was, web results and all. Hmm, strange, I'd imagine it will be possible in the final release, but it would be nice to have the option now. Perhaps it is one of the new strange services that have no descriptions such as dcpsvc? I haven't played with them yet so maybe I'll take a snapshot and experiment later

    Yeah, Cortana more or less controls search on W10TP!
    Either you have to uninstall it or put up with it!

    I posted feedback in the Taskbar section because Cortana is not really inside the start menu
    Lots of capitals *Wink

    The GPEdit tweak is just for the 'User Search' UI:
