Search Bar?

[SaiPanneerselvam]

I am enjoying using the windows 10 start menu and taskbar on my device a lot. I just have one question:
Is there a way to "downgrade" the Search bar to the Windows 10 Version? (Or am I just not looking well?)

what features are you looking for in the windows 10 search bar that the windows 11 search bar has or doesn't have?

You can disable internet searching in the search bar in windows 11: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/disable-windows-web-search

I am requesting this design:

and wondering if there is a setting to get this in ExplorerPatcher. (This design does have web search.)

If you haven't already, that is in the windows 10 taskbar that EP implemented:

Open up EP Properties application, go to taskbar, and set taskbar style to Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher), not Windows 10. We no longer offer more support on the stock Windows 10 taskbar.

please see this for more info: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki/ExplorerPatcher's-taskbar-implementation

if you do not see Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher), you need to uninstall and install the latest version of EP from here: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases

you upgraded to windows 11 24h2 from 23h2 without uninstalling EP first before doing the upgrade

No, I am a new user who installed EP itself on 24H2. The search bar looks normal but when clicked, it summons the windows 11 search menu. My question is how to reenable windows 10 search menu if possible.

[pyrates999]

that is not a current feature of EP I think.
