How to disable the search bar in the Start menu using Group Policy
I deleted the search bar and widgets from the taskbar, but when I click on the Start menu, a search bar still pops up at the top. I would like to ask how to completely disable it in Group Policy. Thank you in advance!

Right-click on an empty space on your taskbar.
From the context menu, go to Search.
You will see three options:
Hidden: This is what you want. Select this to remove the search bar entirely.
Show search icon: This will replace the long bar with a simple magnifying glass icon.
Show search box: This is the default setting with the full bar.
Select Hidden to remove the search bar and icon completely from the taskbar.
