Microsoft pushed Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25120 to users in the development channel recently. This update mainly fixes known issues but has new features. This new feature is a desktop search box widget, that is, a search box is displayed on the desktop, and users can enter keywords in the search box to invoke browser search. If you would like to remove this search box, you can right-click on the desktop, choose “Show more options,” and toggle the “Show search” option.
