Workaround.
Bring up the group policy editor (gpedit.msc), go to Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Search. Enable the policies called "Don't search the web or display web results in Search" and the one right after it that's for metered connections.

thanks. will try it once the current search bar issue is solved.
I ran CCleaner to fix registry issues, disabled my antivirus software (Avast), restarted my computer... and now, it looks like the preview build 10041 is now downloading 
Pity there isn't a progress bar so I can see how far it gets.
I can't seem to uninstall Avast on Windows 10 Technical Preview, nor can I install a new version, it gives me that Compatibility Issue warning.

What version were you coming from? Because that doesn't look like 9926. I could track the download of 10041 nicely like any download
My installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview must have been really weird - this was when I was on Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926. I upgraded from Windows 7. The install completed and now I am rocking on Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041
My pinned apps on the Start Menu got unpinned
Going to have to pin them back This new sound driver that I had been avoiding got installed - the sound just sounds so bad... it sounds like its operating much louder than it used to be - make screeching sounds here and there... gonna install an older version. Previously, the Dell Audio software wouldn't even show with this new driver, now it somewhat shows - the Equalizer part is missing 
Looks like Avast got uninstalled... I am happy...now I do not have to worry about trying to get it removed

I've also had a lot of issues after the upgrade. Some of my installed games stopped working. And on my Dell laptop (which I see you've also got) the driver issue was so bad, that I decided to reinstall Windows 7. Couldn't deal with the issues anymore.

I struggled with the drivers on that piece of crap Dell. So wanted to go back to the most tried and tested virgin

I'm on the insider program but it lists the 9926 version?
Or do I have to install 9926 and then update?

Hmmm. Maybe 10041 is only available via windows update.
