Privacy-minded Windows 10 Group Policies

Software

Purpose of this page is to list various Group Policies that I’ve set, to strip out all the useless nonsense from Windows 10.

Get rid of search suggestions within Explorer

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

Disable more useless Bing-in-start-menu nonsense:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"AllowSearchToUseLocation"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"CortanaConsent"=dword:00000001
