Hi, I am running Windows 11 Pro, Beta Build 26120.5733. On this computer, I am not offered Search Highlights (the small picture that appears on the right side of the search box on Taskbar). I do not see any options to enable this on Settings. I have tried several fixes including SFC scan and DISM repair, nothing brought this feature back.

repair install that may have removed the Feature?
Also, how do you have this set?

2025-08-09T09:24:37.11+00:00 Some few weeks ago I unsuccessfully tried both 'Fix problems using Windows Update' and 'Reset this PC', to try and bring this feature back. Both didn't work. Yes I am able to pick 'Search icon and label', and the other options. Currently set on 'Search box'.

2025-08-08T17:28:55.0266667+00:00 Please check for the new Build update that's
out. There have been some changes made.
And there are some features that are Controlled
Rollouts, so not everyone gets them.
