  Ads aside, I see they’re making the terrible mistake Apple Music made by blurring the distinction between your own content, and promoted content.

  If you’re searching for files I recommend Eveything.

    It’s exclusively a local tool, isn’t it? You can index a network share but the index still is local and has to be done for each user, right?

    Looking for a simple (preferably FOSS) tool to index file shares for a handful of users at their own PCs.

    Fabulous, I miss it on MacOS

  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.

  Thank gods I’m able to use Linux for my work PC. Group policy and enterprise config can only hide so much of Windows’s BS.

    If by “only so much” you mean every BS thing in OP’s image, sure.

  If it opened on the default browser it would be several times less infuriating, but clicking on anything by mistake and then waiting for Edge to open with all the prompts because you never use it makes me furious

    No wonder people are jumping through hoops to delete Edge. Condolences, that’s a lot of bullshit on a machine you own.

  For anyone wondering, there are tools out there that will help you debloat Windows 10 and 11 and remove things like these obnoxious ads in the Start Menu. I did this last year on Windows 11 and even after countless updates, the debloating has remained. The tool I used also had an option to permanently “pause” Windows Updates too.

  It’s terrible what Microsoft has done to the OS, overall, but for those of us who have to use it (and have control over the computer), we have this as an option to make the experience a little better, at least.

  I can’t remember the exact tool I used but I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with this.

    There’s so many tools to do it, too. It’s kind of upsetting how many independent devs are investing their time towards removing this garbage instead of literally anything else.

      It’s double up too. Someone made it, and then someone unmade it

    I recently switched to Windows 10 LTSC (from Windows 10). Would recommend that as well to people looking to avoid Windows 11.

    I’m not if it’s really any easier to find and install than the other debloat methods out there, but I thought it was pretty simple.

  Is that the Windows 11 search menu?

  source

  • gedaliyah@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This is the start menu when you type a search.

    source

    • JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So, like, the search button on the taskbar?
