    W10 search box shows suggestions - cannot be removed

    Hello, after the latest Windows 10 update (from 20H2 to 21H2) the suggestions list in the Windows 10 search bothers me. Attached are 2 pictures of how it looks after and before the update. Is there any way to remove them? I already tried it with W10 Privacy, but without success. These are not app suggestions that can be disabled. The problem has occurred since the latest update, so it shouldn't be too familiar. One is before and one is after the update ("Vorschläge" means suggestions):

    How to remove search suggestions from search box.

    Note this is not web suggestions, it appears on 21H2 after installing latest updates, but not on clean 21H2, also not on 1809 at all. Attaching screenshot.
