Windows 10: How do I get rid of the big ugly search box in 1903?

I have just updated to 1903 and now I have a big ugly white search box in my task bar instead of the unobtrusive little magnifying glass icon I used to have. How can I get rid of this search box?

Hi Tony,

You can't add funds to your Microsoft Account.

You may try to run the Inbuilt search troubleshooter and check.

We would suggest you to try the steps mentioned in the link

• Type troubleshooting in the search box
  and hit Enter.
• Click View all from the left pane and select Search and Indexing
  
• Follow the on-screen instructions and check.

If the above steps fail, try the following command.

• Press Win + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Command Prompt(Admin).
• Type or copy, paste the command in the command prompt DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  and hit Enter.
• Restart the computer and check.

Hope this information helps.
