    @sainfo can you advise what needs to be altered in this script to retain the normal windows search in the taskbar?

    Update: I removed all related reg files for the regular search on the taskbar from the personal & tweak dir, though still not showing?

    I don't know what to say.

    You mentioned that you used W10MUI with this image..

    You could download it again and see what happens.

    Hmm, so what's wrong with the search? What is a regular search? I didn't modify anything in the search on purpose. When I understand the essence of your problem, I'll try to fix it.

    Hi sainfo it's the normal search bar located on the desktop within the taskbar, here is a win 10 attached as a sample. I removed the reg file in the tweak dir though this did not work.

    It supports all editions, x64 or x86. But does not support mixed x64/x86.

    Once you create the .reg file, share it? Maybe it will help someone else too.

    Yes

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    ; Created MC
    ; enable/disable taskbar search
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Search\DisableSearch]
    "value"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
    "DisableSearch"=-

    Good question, but I'm more interested in how a person's 24H2 works with 2 GB of RAM - well done.
