Easy steps to remove bing search from windows 11 and 10. (Hindustan Times)

Microsoft is making Bing search better with artificial intelligence, but some people don't like that the browser is included everywhere in Windows, according to Beebom reports. It shows up when you use Windows Search or open the Start menu. However, for local searches, it doesn't work well and slows down the search experience. It also uses up your computer's memory and processing power. If you want to completely remove Bing Search from Windows 11 and 10, follow these simple tutorial below.

How to Turn Off Bing Cloud Search in Windows 11 and 10:

1. Open Windows Search and click on the three dots next to the Bing icon.

2. Click on "Search settings."

3. Under "Cloud content search," turn off the switches for both "Microsoft account" and "Work or School account." This will stop personalising your search results with online content.

4. Name it "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions."

5. Double-click on it and change the "Value data" to 1. Click "OK."

6. Finally, restart your PC, and Bing Search should be gone from Windows 11/10.

Removing Bing Search from Windows 11 and 10 Using Group Policy:

4. Open each setting and enable them.

5. Finally, restart your Windows 11/10 PC. Bing Search will be removed from all search elements, including the Start menu, Taskbar, and File Explorer.
