How to disable Bing suggestions in the Windows 11 Start menu [Complete Guide]

The Windows 11 default search tool built into Start is very useful when it comes to finding installed files and software. However, the search utility also displays Bing's web suggestions every time you enter a keyword, making the whole process very annoying, so much so that many people may want to delete all of Bing's suggestions together.

If you feel the same way and want to disable Bing suggestions in the Windows 11 Start menu, you can do so by following the steps listed below:

  • Go to Start option and Search for Registry, then open the first search result
  • Inside Registry Editor navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
