Like in the title.- I turned off everything related to Web/Bing search in the search settings- I stopped all search-related processes- After opening search bar again, all WebView processes are launched anywayThis seems like a huge RAM waste (100 MBs) for an opt-in feature that I won't ever use anyway.(Names are in Polish but all of the subtasks of the Search feature are mswebview2 components).Thank u, MS pls fix soonKind Regards
