KedarWolf opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
No option to enable the Search Task Box on the taskbar, only the Search Task Icon.
I tried enabling it through regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\Searchbox\TaskbarMode to 2, never worked.

The registry key you're editing is incorrect. The correct registry key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\SearchboxTaskbarMode
This can be set to the following DWORD values:
0 = Hidden entirely.
1 = Shows the Search Icon only (what Optimize-Offline sets).
2 = Show the full Search Box (default value).
I changed that key to 2, no Search Box, tried Immersive Search at 0 as well, no Search Box.
When i change that key and reboot, it reverts back to 1.
I tried as Admin
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search /v SearchboxTaskbarMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
still reverts to 1.
Got it to stay at 2 by exporting the full key, changing the parameter in the exported file, reimporting it, but still no search box. :(
Sorry for the delay. Did this get resolved?
No, it never, can only have a Task Icon, no Task Box, even with related registry setting changed.
Does it have the Search Box listed when right-clicking the task bar?
After some troubleshooting, I've determined it was a script that I had running on a clean install.
I disabled it, now have a Search Box.
