3. I don't have a photo sharing host anymore.

It just appeared with the latest update. It's right in the search box.

4. Have you been to any betting sites recently?

(Not any kind of accusation, just a possibility.)

5. Certainly not.

6. With most of the stuff

That's tacked onto Win 10, you can right click the task bar and read the context menu for any new items that you don't recognise and are turned on. Hopefully there will be an off switch.

Look particularly in the second section from the top of the context menu - under 'Search'.

7. I'll have to get home and look at mine.

Most of the icons on the taskbar are options.

8. OK. I solved it.

It's some cute new thing to Windows 10 and 11.

In Windows 10, meanwhile, all you need to do is right-click on your search bar, and uncheck Show Search Highlights.

under "search".
