if Windows 11 just removes Cortana I’m doing it!
I hate that piece of sh*t and the way it refuses to be removed (unless you rename the EXE file at just the right moment as you kill it from the task manager, and before it respawns itself)
But then it disables some features of the application search box. But Let’s Go Microsoft.
I think this option is one of the ver 200 tweaks available in in Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 for Windows 10 From the Windows club.
Add to this Winaero features of the Winaero Tweaker
Then there is Right-Click Extender (add items to many right click menus) , and T-Clock Redux and Classic Shell, now called Open Shell (https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/archive/master.zip)
Hope they all work with W/11.
Composite (with my own Quick Launch menu) using T-Clock and Open Shell, by the grace of God.:
