It takes literally a click to deactivate it though. One could argue about Bing Search being the default, but I didn’t run the user surveys to see, which is best for the average user.

Either I am stupid or you're being dishonest. There is no one click way to disable it. Only on pro versions of windows, with a group policy otherwise a couple of obscure registry keys no regular users know.

    I stand corrected. I didn’t know the Home Version has no option to disable it. You are right for calling me out.

    No group policy is needed on Windows 11 Pro, it's in the settings:

    ---

    Type something in the Start menu

    Top right meatballs menu button

    'Search settings'

    'Let search apps show results' -> Off (or disable only Bing)

    ---

    I don't know about the Home edition.
