Describe the feature or improvement
Windows has a Search process that is initialized by SeachHost.exe in following folder: C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy
it uses around 150-200MB RAM constantly, and is running multiple WebView instances in the background. Closing the task is instantly reopening/rerunnung it.
I dont think it is necressary to have. I have deleted Webview, and the search still works.
