    There is a reg key to add that disables bing search.

    What I fucking hate, is that I exclusively use the start menu to start apps I’ve installed, but typing in the name of an app doesn’t show the installed app at all, just fucking ads. They literally took away the only functionality of the start menu unless I do a very intuitive method of reverting it.

          Ha, what a delightful way to share! Figured it would be easy enough to Internet search, but this way, others reading the thread will be more inclined to enable it when it is just right in the conversation.

          Edit: Holy crap, this finally got rid of the weird start menu lag where it used to be “hit win key, type fir, launch firefox” to “hit win key…start menu freezes with no typing, a second modal window floats above it, sometimes in arbitrary locations on the screen (likely because I told Edge to not run in the background ever so it always cold-starts) then “fir” appears there, or sometimes “ir” or sometimes “r” or sometimes nothing.” Just to run a program.

            I saw this meme and saved it in my notes for later. It seemed the easiest way to share
