Hello, I read the article about this topic on the website, but it didn't function properly. I saw that it mentioned naming the new key "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions," yet I'm having trouble doing so. It seems like this might be the reason it doesn't work for me. I don't understand why I can only add "DisableSearchBoxSuggestion" at the end, but I have no idea what's happening. Anyone else know what's going on here?

Article link?
If, according to your message, "DisableSearchBoxSuggestion" functions correctly, please use that as the new key name. Possibly a typo occurred.
If it doesn't work at all, additional details are required.

The link you shared is correct. I attempted it myself and it functioned properly. During the process, it prompted to generate a new key named Explorer, which I already possessed, so I proceeded with that to set up DisableSearchBoxSuggestions and then restarted the system.

I managed to get it to function, though I'm unsure about the initial naming issue. It seems I mistakenly attempted to rename it via the modify option instead of the rename option.
