    Thank you. It is so annoying that in this free world we are forced to watch news when we do not want to. RUclips videos like this are simply wonderful AND it worked first time. Thank you.

    thank you! seriously ridiculous how they've made it this annoying and difficult to change.
    also, it worked for my newer laptop and not my older one (pre-ryzen 2015) ! just wanted to say so in case it didn't work for someone else - i wonder if it's to do with the age of the laptop?

    Thank You. I was searching for how to do this, and the only thing I could find was a download link for a reg file that is supposed to be what you just demonstrated how to create manually. I'm 99% sure it was legit and perfectly fine, but I'm always leery of downloading anything like that from a site I'm not very familiar with. This was just as fast and easy as that would have been anyway.

    Awesome thanks! I knew I could use the same reg edit method I used to shut off cortana to do this. The taskbar menu method didnt have the Highlights option. Its like whenever someone figures out how to turn something forced in windows off, if people actually turn it off, windows patch your ability to turn it off. They removed the option in the taskbar menu in an update, I know it. People could shut trending searches off from the taskbar menu in November 2022. January 2023? You gotta do this.

    • @kwoners
      @kwoners Год назад +2

      You're welcome! Happy this method worked for you. You are right - I know I disabled the "highlights" through the taskbar menu awhile ago - but the other day I tried to "enable" it and it's as if the "highlights" never even existed 🤷‍♂
