Windows 10: Help to stop windows 10 search box constantly popping up

you're most welcome : ))

 

Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you.
Best regards from Norway.

 

If you don't open the tapping option you don't see the three and four finger option, open the tapping option to get the window I showed with the 3 and 4 finger option. Mine has never triggered the search function since I unclicked those options.

 

Some versions of the Synaptics driver don't show 3 and 4 fingers options. In my case, Synaptics 7.5 v 19.2.4, there is only option for 2 fingers. In this case, only going to the System Registry (regedit) is possible to remove 3 and 4 fingers options.

 

That is really odd, because I have the same version of hardware, V7.5, and driver v19.2.4 as you do. Are you sure you clicked on the arrow to the left of the Tapping category to reveal the 3 and 4 finger options?

 

Could be this a case of lost in translation?? *Smile
Look at this:




"Toque con dos dedos" in Spanish means Two-Finger Tap.

 

Isn't that interesting that for the same device and same driver they only offer one option under tapping in Spanish but 2 options in English, and the one in spanish isn't even the same as one of the two in english?

 

Absolutely *Smile
Maybe they assumed that the Spaniards have less fingers at hands!! *Biggrin

Hello All,
Just some further input and looking for some help also.

I have a surface pro and am using a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I am also experiencing this problem. I will be typing and all of a sudden the search box appears in the top right corner and my typing switches to the search box. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Thank you.

 

This worked for me, thank you a million times over, this has been driving me mad for almost a year now! You saved my sanity *Biggrin
I turned off (unchecked) the '3 finger tap' option and that stupid thing hasn't popped up once since!!

 

I did try all the suggestions that I could find on this site and other sites. NOTHING HELPED and Cortana keeps popping when I do normal things, like editing text in a file, filling a field, clicking on a picture, etc. Not only this is unwanted and counterproductive, but Microsoft is silent about it. With the quantity of feedback on the web, it is impossible they do not know. In addition, it came to their attention that it was possible to disable Cortana in the basic Windows 10. So they came up with the Anniversary Edition to cancel this ability. Isn't that vicious? This cavalier attitude is angering to the point that I have made a decision: my next computer will not be a windows computer.*Mad

 

Did you try to edit registry (regedit) ?

 

Yes and the parameter in question was already 0, which means that the software ignores the parameter in use before the release of the Anniversary Edition.
