  1. How to revert to the old search box


    Hi there! A long time ago around september 2019, I've updated my windows 10 to version 1903. The update changed my search box, which I don't like. I would like to know how to revert this:

    To this:

    Because IMO the new one is ugly, why does it have a blank column to the left...

    Anyways, currently I'm running Windows 10 Home V1903 with the OS built 18362.535.


    I hope to receive a reply soon!

    :)
