Looking for a way to remove the Search icon from Windows 11 taskbar to make more space for the icons you care about? In Windows 11, the new Start Menu comes with a search box at the top, which lets you search directly. I think it is not necessary to keep the Search button on the taskbar. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 quick methods to hide or remove the Search button from the taskbar in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Hide or Remove Search Button from Taskbar via Settings App<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click any empty space on the taskbar and choose Taskbar settings<\/strong>.\n

    \n<\/li>\n

  2. This will launch the Settings app and take you to the page: Personalization -> Taskbar. In the right pane, toggle the Search<\/strong> switch to Off<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. The Search button will no longer appear on your taskbar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Hide or Remove Search Button from Taskbar via Registry Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Registry Editor<\/a> and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Search<\/code>. In the right pane, double-click the DWORD SearchboxTaskbarMode<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    2. Enter 0 in the Value data field and click OK<\/strong>. The Search button on your taskbar will disappear immediately.\n
