I want to disable that windows 10 pro gives me web search results when typing something into the start menu bar: this thing here

but i could not figure out how to do that. The only working method i knew and could find online was opening the Registry-Editor,

enter image description here

pasting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer into the bar, then creating a new DWORD named DisableSearchBoxSuggestions and set it to 1. But now windows won't let me do this anymore: enter image description here as you can see, i can't click it. (I did run the registry editor as Admin)

Is there any working method to disable the windows search bar giving you internet search results?

Thanks in advance :)

  • What are the permissions on the keys. You definitely should be able to create the key, since it's required, to disable what your looking to disable. – Ramhound Mar 21 '22 at 20:16
  • Be sure you are attempting to modify this key as an Administrator[.](https://superuser.com/questions/1565338/stop-suggesting-microsoft-edge-browser-in-start-menu-when-typing-internet/1565356#1565356) There is no other method to disable the web search results[.](https://superuser.com/questions/1510739/how-to-get-rid-of-windows-10-search-web-results-triggered-from-the-start-menu). You will need to determine, the reason you don't have permissions, to the registry key in question. – Ramhound Mar 21 '22 at 20:20
  • Ramhound, as stated in my post I did run it as administrator. It did not work – User1986 Mar 22 '22 at 10:54

    So what are the permissions of the keys? Looking at my own computer, and the previous answers I have submitted, `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer` isn't even the correct registry key. It also does not exist on my system. – Ramhound Mar 22 '22 at 12:53
