I have encountered a problem where I couldn't access environment variables after disabling Bing search.

To disable Bing search, I followed these steps in the registry:

1. Pressed Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Typed "regedit" and pressed Enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigated to the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search.
4. Created a new DWORD value named "BingSearchEnabled."
5. Set the value data of "BingSearchEnabled" to 0.

However, after making these changes, I noticed that the "Change environment variables" option no longer appears when I search for "env" or other keywords. Restarting the computer did not resolve the issue.

Fortunately, when I revert the changes by deleting the "BingSearchEnabled" value from the registry, the issue goes away and I can access environment variables again.

Although I haven't found similar reports of this specific problem, it seems that disabling Bing search affects the visibility of various options beyond just the search keyword "env."

If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has insights into resolving this problem in Windows 11, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Restoring access to the environment variables is crucial for my workflow.
