Hi @TSport-7050

You can do this by right-clicking the taskbar and then Just clicking on hidden on search. This can also be done with the help of editing the registry.

The show or no-show of the search box and search button on Taskbar is controlled by the 32-bit DWORD registry value named SearchboxTaskbarMode in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

The possible values corresponding to the options above are:

Disable: 0
Show search icon: 1
Show search box: 2

Hope this resolves your Query!!
