    I don't think anybody really knows but Win10 can definitely work after you remove the MSR on an EFI-boot system, even with BitLocker enabled on the system drive (I read somewhere that BL uses this space for boot but may be for BIOS/CSM boot mode only...?). If there is any configuration that needs it, I guess it's extremely rare. All you really need is EFI-boot and system. Actually, even the boot partition is redundant if your EFI firmware can read NTFS (can be done with custom editors, sometimes it's already supported by the manufacturer for other reasons) but I doubt Win10 will allow you to put the EFI boot manager to an NTFS filesystem (however, Linux allows anything, like booting in EFI mode from Btrfs).

    yeah im sure that bitlockre don't need gpt or msr
    while ur right that there r firmwares that can read ntfs theyre few and far between
    if ur firmware speaks ntfs i don't see why not
    bootmgr itself of course speaks ntfs
    thatd be a hell of a trick
    ive nevr met a firmware that speaks betarfs

    You can add this registry setting to achieve this:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
    "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001
    This will also disable the list of previous searches when using search function in explorer. In my opinion not important at all.

    It really is a bad design choice by Microsoft to keep working on constantly removing found workarounds to disable web searches. Just give us an option in settings to disable this, Microsoft. What is it with this cat-and-mouse game...

    Because they want lots of bing searches so they can say "we had 5 trillion bing searches in the past 6 months!"
