    As shown above, it's at least really easy to turn off. It showed up on my computer today too, but I don't mind it.

    Got rid of that.

    Now how do I get rid of the Search popup window Quick Search: Weather, Top News, Today in History, Coronavirus trends crap on that screen?

    Better yet, how can I keep 21H1 from ever showing things like those? (I never want to see those, ever, anywhere. )

    Why they added it, I have no idea. Windows already has a weather app and a news app.

    I order to get rid of the Search popup window Quick Searches: Weather, Top News, Today in History and especially Coronavirus Trends crap follow this instructions:

    Annoying Suggestions in Quick Searches:
    - Open Registry Editor regedit.msc
    - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
    - Right click on Windows and choose New > Key in the contextual menu
    - Name the New Key as Explorer
    - Right click on Explorer select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value in the contextual menu
    - Name this newly created DWORD as “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions” and hit the Enter Key
    - Right click in the right pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value
    - Name the new value DisableSearchBoxSuggestions
    - Double-click on newly created DisableSearchBoxSuggestions DWORD
    - Edit its value data from zero to 1 and click on OK
    - Restart your computer for the changes to Apply
    - If you want to see Web Suggestions, you can either delete DisableSearchBoxSuggestions DWORD or change its Data Value to 0

    Enjoy! God bless!
