    How do I remove the Windows 10 search from popping up?


    When I accidently use three fingers on my Synaptics touchpad, and randomly at other times, I get the windows search popup window. See image below of the popup window. So far I have done the following to attempt to get it to stop coming up.


    Confirmed latest Synaptics driver and unintalled and reinstalled it

    Disabled in Cortana in the registry by creating a new "Windows Search" key

    Turned off Cortana in the takbar

    Turned off unchecked Three and four finger tap and gestures on ther synaptics touchpad

    Search is set to hidden in taskbar

    No virus or malware on system


    I have spent hours searching the web for an answer to this without success. Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is driving me crazy because it pops up dozens of times daily and has been occurring for months possibly after some update. Thanks---

    How do I delete search suggestions when I click on a search box?

    In Windows 10 when I click on a search box on a website I am visiting previous suggestions from past searches drop down and the list is becoming rather long. How do I delete these suggestions?

    How do I remove the Windows 10 search from popping up?

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
