Remove internet search from the Start menu

RecommendedExplorer restart needed

Search in Start looks only on the computer and does not send queries to Bing.

Expected effect

Search responds faster; queries do not go to the internet.

Possible side effects

This is a group policy: "Settings" may show "Some settings are managed by your organization".

What exactly changes

Registry key	Value	Type	New value
`HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer`	`DisableSearchBoxSuggestions`	DWord	`1`

How to undo it

Before a change NyxBoost saves the previous values; "Revert" brings them back and removes those that did not exist before.

In NyxBoost: Recovery → “Revert” next to this setting's entry.
Without the program: open the Registry Editor (regedit), go to the key from the table and put back the previous value — NyxBoost records it in its change history.

How NyxBoost checks the result

After applying, NyxBoost reads the values again and compares them with the expected ones. To see the real effect on your PC, use FPS Lab: it measures the same game before and after.
