    Hide or Show Search Box or Cortana Icon on Taskbar in Windows 10


    I meant the "OPTION ONE" section in the tutorial instead of setting the value to "1". *Smile

    If you still have Cortana disabled, did you restart the computer to apply? If so, you should only see a Search icon and not a Cortana icon.

    I have had Cortana disabled since I got Win 10. I assume that means that Search Box will not work?

    The search box should still work for searching in Windows when Cortana is disabled.

    What method did you use to disable Cortana? Perhaps part of it may have also disabled search.

    Hide or Show Search Box or Cortana Icon on Taskbar in Windows 10

    I don't particularly care if there is a Cortana icon or search box. The point is that with Cortana disabled, it seems that one cannot search, e.g., on cannot type into Search box.

    search bar will not show up if u enable "use small taskbar buttons." Also idk if this is related but when u boot up in safe mode, cortana/search bar does not work. when i type in anything, nothing pops up. which forces u to find all your needs manually.
