Windows 10 Search

[ITGURU]

I've disabled Cortana so that by default the big search box for all users only shows Search windows and not search windows and web.

Each user can right click the start menu, search and hide the box for how can you hide it for all users?

 

Can't find anything on the internet, and registry hack doesn't work in a GPO.

 

Anyone else managed to remove for all users and care to share how they did it?

 

Thanks.

Could you not use GPP to set the relevant registry value for each user?

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; 0 = Hidden
; 1 = Show Search Icon
; 2 = Show Search Box

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"SearchboxTaskbarMode"=dword:0000000[color="#FF0000"]0[/color]

That's where I set the registry value but didn't seem to work.
