The slow start menu is awful. I want to press start then type what I want to open but it is so slow you have to wait nearly 2s to type or it will lose the first few characters. Add to that the search result quality is dire.
- Jaruzel 8y agoJust press Windows+Q, and start typing. Much faster.
- setquk 8y agoHey that works pretty well. Thanks for the tip! :)
- Guillaume86 8y agoJust the Windows key do the trick for me, have been using that since they started adding more crap to the start menu (Vista?).
- stinky613 8y agoI disable web search and Cortana, and it makes all the difference in the world for Win key + type the first few characters of an app: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] "ConnectedSearchUseWeb"=dword:00000000 "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000 https://pastebin.com/ApnfB7wC https://pastebin.com/ApnfB7wC
- setquk 8y agoThanks for tip - will try this
- jug 8y agoWow, you can do that?? There ought to be an unofficial Windows 10 Settings app that uncovers stuff like this. Somehow Microsoft isn't quite getting it right and they ship Windows 10 with two different ones...
- tomatotomato37 8y agoIt's at a new location now because why not: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
- vbezhenar 8y agoFor me start menu is instant (well, animation takes few milliseconds, but it starts instantly) and I can start to type anything immediately, like <Win>cmd.
