I’m not sure how you messed up, because this has never happened to me, and I stay up to date.
maybe you need to try again.
Instructions:
Weird, because I surely installed windows 10 before that date, turned off the search bar, and have definitely installed that update, but the search bar never popped back up for me. Maybe I’m just lucky.
i would not be surprised if they do AB testing and rollout
100% never seen this either and I’m a daily windows user who has had the search bar disabled since day 1
This definitely doesn’t happen to everyone. I’ve never once had this happen and I’ve kept my windows up to date.
Maybe it’s a regional thing. After all the function primary purpose is to serve ads (sponsored content) and drive visits to bing, so there’s a chance that this malware-like behavior is enabled only in specific countries that drive more ad revenue
Probably could’ve worded this better.
Maybe a “What have you all setup to remove these features, how are you running windows, etc “
Best to lead with pure curiosity and questions than to lead with assumptions. We don’t know what we don’t know, and that also means that the depth of what we don’t know could be surprisingly deep.
Stay curious!
You could have blocked and moved on with your life but you chose to be a snob. Whose acting in bad faith here?
If you use voyager you can filter keywords. I recommend filtering „elon“, „musk“, „tesla“, „spacex“… makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
And don’t forget to filter „xitter“ as that is probably also recommended.
bonkers this shit has 10 upvotes lmao
Do you have an easier time catching flies with vinegar or with honey?
I’m not trying to catch anyone. I’m just calling OP out as a liar. I don’t give a shit how OP or anyone else feels on the Internet feels about me.

I’m not sure how you messed up, because I was able to not blame the user for decisions made on their behalf without their consent, and I too saw this post.

Yeah, well that’s the difference between us. I don’t believe OP, and I think this is just a troll. You can believe whatever you want, but I’m calling OP a liar liar pants on fire.
