    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.

    How To Disable Search Highlights in Windows 11

    Search Highlights in Windows 11

    Search highlights are one of the many features Microsoft has introduced to Windows in order to try to boost adoption of Bing, their search engine. While they can be fun for some people, if you're like me then you don't like when things are changed about your computer, especially when these changes involve connecting to online services in order to collect data. Thankfully, the feature can be disabled fairly easily.

    An example of Search Highlights showing that it's Tom Hanks' birthday, a bit of information very relevant to me.

    How to Disable Search Highlights

    In order to disable these suggestions, you need to disable the Show search highlights option in your Search Permissions settings.

    1. Open the Settings app

    Search highlight not working !

    Oh, search highlights as in suggested content to drive clicks/views/ad revenue, not highlights of search results. Got it. Sorry for the irrelevant question.
