    Well, sure, but this has a user hostile motive behind it.

    Microsoft could have offered a right-click/disable internet search to facilitate. However, they wanted people to just give up and soak in start-menu driven internet action, so they buried the option in an obscure registry key.

    The key is the start menu search to internet really makes the experience suck, as you try to type something on local system and some internet result gets prioritized, and by nature of the internet search, the internet search is unpredictable, so the search you do every day that usually opens up what you expect suddenly starts going to some internet site in edge.

      don’t get me wrong, by no means this isn’t shitty, it is.

      I’m just saying Windows too always had its tinkering with the registry or in text files, you just normally did that on the GUI or used EDIT.
