I came here because of this. As soon as I saw "Start to collect", I was like how to disable this. I checked three dot menu ... and no option there. Then I searched inside settings, still no option.
It's defeating the purpose of collections. I need to collect stuff I like and organize it. I don't want random suggestions from bing which have ruined collections for me. And there are some inappropriate suggestions as well. It can be a disaster in work enviornment.

I am sure this is from Marketing, as it looks like click bait to generate revenue.
It took me awhile to figure out how to turn this off the search box also. At least it was an option.
I am still pissed that they messed up my quick links. The update totally removed them from file explorer, but they now appear as favorites in the new "Files" app.
As more businesses upgrade to Win 11, I bet there will be an option to turn it off.
