Today I reinstalled the system, and here are the ways to disabling some useless features in Windows 11.
1. Restore the full context menu
The new design of the context menu in Windows 11 is really a disaster, and it must be removed.
Here is how to do it:
-
Press
Win+X
to open PowerShell (as Administrator). -
Run the following command:
1reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
-
Open the the Task Manager
-
Find the
Windows Explorer
process, terminate it -
Click the “Run new task”, enter
explorer
and press Enter to restart the explorer.
2. Disable the online search feature in the Windows search interface
The Windows 11 search interface will connect to the Bing search engine by default, which is not only slow but also helpless.
Here is how to disable it:
-
Press
Win+R
, enterregedit
to start the Registry Editor. -
In the Registry Editor, navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
. -
Right-click on the
Windows
key, and create a new key namedExplorer
. -
In the new
Explorer
key, create a newDWord
value namedDisableSearchBoxSuggestions
, and set the value to1
. -
Restart the explorer as we mentioned before.
