Microsoft has introduced a new feature for its users that automatically displays a search bar on startup. So far this has been primarily targeted in Windows 10, but it may soon find its way to Windows 11 as well. The search bar comes from Microsoft Edge, the default web browser for Windows machines unless explicitly changed by the user.

This tutorial will apply to computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education) operating systems from all supported hardware manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei, Microsoft Surface and Samsung.
