Hi, welcome.
Running this registry should work unless things have changed in recent updates. No harm done anyway. There's a do and an undo in the zip file.
Log out then back in after running the "Disable web search.reg"
I'm not sure about the top apps though.

Thanks, unfortunately this didn't do anything for me. That main "start" menu is fine, but the " search for apps settings and documents " menu still shows everything.
