searching for apps in the Windows menu used to take less than a second. Now it takes 5-10 seconds to fetch crap from the internet (ads and bing results), and mix it with local results.
- ToucanLoucan 3y agoAnd don't forget the never ending Sisyphean hell of trying to quickly jump to settings. Windows 7 NAILED this and 10 was mostly fine at it, but 11 has completely fucked the dog with this in particular, especially since all your PC's settings are now situated across three different locations, any of which can seemingly change things at the same time.

- calamari4065 3y agoI even went and disabled web search in the registry and it still takes forever. It's also terrible. "Fr" will find FreeCAD, the program I want. "Fre" pulls up "advanced system settings" because there's some subsection about free disk space. "Free" brings back FreeCAD. Every single thing I do that involves any level of interaction with Windows has found some way of pissing me off.
- mizzao 3y agoYep, locally installed programs sometimes don't even show up anymore when I press WinKey + <string> because whatever ad server they're running on the backend doesn't respond and it hangs the search.
