Solved Remove Bing Chat icons from Windows Search

dazlindazza · Aug 5, 2023

My apologies if this has been asked before - I did search the forums and couldn't find anything but I'm a new user so might not've got to grips with the website yet.

As someone that only uses Chrome and never Edge, I've been trying to remove all the annoying Bing icons from Windows. I found some Youtube videos which showed me how to remove some, but annoyingly I cant find a way to remove from the expanded Windows search box - will try to upload a screenshot, where you will see the Bing icons top left and top right, to show what I mean.

I'm wondering if it's possible to remove these too?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
