Does anyone know how I can turn these two options off with the registry?

@BlueShark

Just setting those toggles to OFF, will make the registry changes.
You may have to reboot to apply the changes though.

Do they keep automatically returning to ON position?

Do you see the same Settings on 22H2 and 23H2?
I'm on 24H2 and I don't even see the settings shown in your screenshot...

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
In regedit,
Code: 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000
It should be ok

This registry change does not change the setting. Even after signing out and in again.

I'm a computer enthusiast so have quite a few systems that I run. More like an advanced hobby.
Oh ok, and with this one ?
Code: 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001
Not tested recently, but I don't have "Bing" anymore
