There’s little doubt the Windows 10 search bar is useful, but it links into Microsoft Cortana by default. If you decide you don’t like Cortana’s additional tools, reduce its functionality to that of previous versions of Windows: click the search bar to open Cortana.
If you’re using it for the first time, click ‘Not interested’ to disable it; otherwise, click the Settings button and flick the ‘Use Cortana’ switch to ‘Off’. You can also disable the web portion of Windows 10’s search capabilities from here too, restricting searches to files, programs and settings on your PC.
