Can't get rid of Bing web search.
Can't get rid of recommendations in start menu.
you will love cortana. cortana is love, cortana is life.
They have cortana and copilot now! You get two gippities for the price of one!
You can disable all that by adding a reg key under HKCU somewhere (can't remember where exactly off the top of my head). I think you should be able to write to that without admin.
Thanks. Honestly didn't even try regedit because I figured it had to be locked down to admin-only, but hey what do you know. Got rid of web search, but the "recommended" on start apparently needs to use the group policy editor.
If you can sneak open shell onto your machine I would highly recommend it. It'll give you a classic start menu from the pre-win8 days and then you can just disable the w11 search bar.
Don't have install permissions :(
