Windows 10: Trying to disable the search overlay that blocks the start menu

This keeps popping up whenever I press the start menu. I am trying to figure out a way to disable it but I don't even know what it's called. Anyone here know? Running Win10 Enterprise 2004. Blocks the regular start menu under it I have no idea what it is called nor how to disable it.

disable the start menu search

Hi Darrell,

If you really don’t use Windows Search much, you can disable indexing completely by turning off the Windows Search service. However, disabling the open file menu is not possible in Windows 10.

To disable the Windows Search, kindly follow these steps:

• Click on Start and search for Services.
• Select Services from the list of results.
  • 
    
    
• On the right side of the Services window, find the
  Windows Search entry and click it twice.
• In the Startup type drop-down menu, select the
  Disabled option. This will prevent Windows Search from loading the next time you start your computer.
• Click the Stop button to go ahead and stop the Windows Search service now. When the service has stopped, click on
  Apply button.
• Click on OK button, and then restart your computer.
  

Let us know if you have any other concerns.
