Hello,
I am trying to setup a Windows 10 Enterprise local policy to prevent all searching from being done for a local user on a stand alone computer. Below are the policies (for the specific user), services and registry settings entered in the system
All the search is disabled except for taskbar search. I hide it by right clicking the taskbar, clicking search and select hidden. This only hides the search in the taskbar but not searching the computer. When I click the start button and start typing, it still performs a search. I can type explorer and it still comes up and I can click it to run it.
Anybody know how to disable searching completely?
The following Services were Stopped and set as Disabled:
The LUA was disabled in the registry
