That's nothing. He have Surface Pro laptops, and of course it has Copilot built in. I tried to open an app by typing in a search. On versions without Copilot turned on, instantly finds the app. On a Surface Pro, takes a good 20-30 seconds for it even start the search.
Complete rubbish. Not a single person in the organisation likes the new Outlook.
- lelandfe 4mo agoThe amount of applications on the average consumer's laptop is such a tiny space to search over that there really is no excuse for this being anything other than instant. iOS and macOS suffer this too, it's like I open search and the operating system awakes from a hangover and makes sure it's wearing pants first
- chris_wot 4mo agoiOS and macOS aren't even close to the awfulness of search on Windows.

- Uzazo 4mo agoTip: Spotlight searches through all data and can be slow, but there's a separate App Library search that only searches the app names and it's instant.
- lelandfe 4mo agoOne of the first things I do on any Mac device is to disable Spotlight, install and bind Alfred to Cmd-Space, and then change Finder's preferences so that Cmd-F searches the current directory.
