Microsoft has technically removed the option to disable Bing search results in the Windows search bar. If you’re still opposed to seeing Bing results in your Windows searches, you can edit the registry. This is not recommended by Microsoft, but it’s still possible if you’re not afraid to make registry changes. Removing Bing from Windows search will not affect your web browser.
