Will check the code. It has been working ok. It maybe something ms tweaked in the taskbar code via a update if the option no longer operative.
Hopefully sorted the SearchBox issue. It appears these two edits to the registry are also required now, its to do with those new adverts, err i mean suggestions, m$ added to the search box. Code: Reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1 Reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "SearchOnTaskbarMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1 Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1 Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "SearchOnTaskbarMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1 The SearchOnTaskbarMode registry edit is mainly for w11 but it not do anything on w10, (unless m$ have changed that too!). Added code into next MRP 154's TC15 beta -- now uploaded for testing. Updated the win11 Co-Pilot option in creator and MRP 154 to now be 'disable the copilot button' as it appears this 'feature' will be added and shown anyway.
A reboot may be required as the edge plain white icon will then vanish if you use the no edge option, but most other tweaks would need a reboot as the edits wont set until that happens.
Seems ms keep changing things on the new search code. Not sure why on w10 the option not always work. See this later post for more info regarding the search box...
M$ is intentionally making Windows 10 OS buggy with every update so that more and more people shift to Windows 11 OS. That's what I think period
I rebooted 3 times. With only activation (MAS KMS38) in setupcomplete.cmd. I hadn't noticed it before because I usually use, among other things, the Aveyo script to uninstall Edge.
The edge icon is something i have tried to auto remove when the edge option is used in mrp. Not sure how other edge removal scripts work as im not familiar with powershell.
If interested, you can enable group policy editor in win 10 home and win 11 home. As most know it is in Pro editions but can now be enabled in home editions. Just let me know if you would like to add option.
The add home GP Editor option has been in for a while https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...l-project-mrp-mk3.71555/page-466#post-1766059
