Windows 10: How to get rid of "Top apps" in Search window?

I just installed my first Win 10 1903 on one of my PCs a couple days ago. And I just now tried the new Search. I have a bunch tiles labeled "Top apps" across the top of the screen. These certainly aren't my top applications, but even if they were, I wouldn't want this in a Search window. How do I get rid of the tiles. (I'll probably delete the applications altogether soon, but I don't want Windows to decide it needs to list something else there.)

How to get rid of all the tips and cortana garbage on search toolbar?


Hi, I don't have anything like that appearing as i've never configured more than the most basic Cortana settings.

Try Notebook (icon left on Cortana), Lists - clear those.




Likewise, check for any Reminders

- you've shown the search field for Cortana at the bottom of your screenshots.

(And remember there's one top right of file explorer too).


Try this:
