As always backup your registry before edits.

The fix described in the article was to open up regedit as the current user.

C:\Windows\System32\regedt32

Go to

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

Right click -> New -> DWORD (32-bit)

Name this BingSearchEnabled - make sure value is set to 0.

Find CortanaConsent key and also check/make value set to 0.

Reboot machine.
