How do you disable the "type-to-search" feature in the Windows 10 start menu
How do you disable the "type-to-search" feature in the Windows 10 start menu for "Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops"
So far group policy works on Windows 11, or Windows 10 Enterprise, but not the AVD edition of Win10.
Goal: Create a kiosk experience for end users to launch specific applications from the Start Menu, but not allow them to search for other applications. For example, we don't want them to type "Word" and then launch Microsoft Word.
It may depend on different edition of Windows for GPO, may consider below PowerShell for all users and editions:
if( -not (Test-Path -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer)){New-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer}Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer `-Name "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" -Value 1 -Type DWord- Unfortunately that did not work. Any other ideas?
