An incoming update to Windows will be adding a new “feature” to drive more revenue to MS Bing. If you, like me, don’t want this “feature” turned on, here’s the info you need:

Unfortunately you won’t find the Group Policy in advance of the feature, so you probably have to experience it at least once before you can tell it to get lost.

I can report that after rebooting to install the update (2022-03 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5011543) ), the policy entry was present and I was able to edit it to disable the feature. (In Windows 10 Pro 21H2.)
