Like many others I find the web search results in the Windows Start menu useless and annoying. Turns out, they slow down the experience as well.

Fortunately, there's a way to disable this functionality through a registry change.

• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search.
• Create new DWORD 32-bit value.
• Call it BingSearchEnabled.
• Leave value as 0.
