Windows 10: How do I prevent Search from using CPU Time & Network in App History?

Hello,I just installed yesterday Windows 10 LTSB for the first time. The last 4 years I've been using only Windows 8.1 Pro and prior to that Windows 7.

I have noticed that under App history tab the Search is using 3 seconds of CPU time and 0.4MB of Network data it is also running as a background process on startup.

This version of Windows does not have Cortana, Windows Store App, Edge or any of the Metro applications. This is why I went ahead and installed this version of Windows 10.

But Windows 10 consumes around 60Mb more RAM compared to Windows 8.1. With Windows 8.1 on Startup Memory was 720MB in use where as with Windows 10 it is 774/790MB under 8GB RAM.

SearchUI.exe is also consuming 30MB but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the Search running as a background process. But under app history it does consume CPU time. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Also I see SearchUI.exe as suspended status but next to it 30MB. Does that mean that this memory is freed or is it still being occupied by memory resources?

IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?


Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

Any suggestions to fix this?
