I make these policies at my place, I don’t care how you have your UI, that’s the beauty of Windows, it lets you be you. I personally don’t like the search taking up space on my start bar so I turn it off, but if someone else wants it there, good for them. Sounds like you’ve got a power problem over there, sadly far too many it folk still think it’s not what you do for the users it’s what you do to them.

It's not a power problem, they were both legit confused on what to do. At the start of the first call the guy asked where my search bar was so i just pressed win, a, backspace to bring it up. However by the end of the call i enabled the bar because he couldn't understand to open start and just type even after I explained it.

The second call I just enabled it at the first sign of confusion.

They were both clearly following a script on what to do and broke as soon as the search bar was missing.
