Windows 10 with Cortana has been received with mixed reactions due to certain bugs and privacy issues, but users have also found another annoying feature which integrates with a system file search.

To disable Bing results from your Windows 10 desktop searches you will have to edit the Windows Registry file. But the edit is different depending on your current Windows version.

The good news is that the 'Turn off display of recent search entries in the File Explorer search box' Windows policy introduced in Windows 7 also disables Bing search in the Windows 10 start menu.
