As a software dev I wonder how does this even happen?
As a guy who runs the Windows environment at work and doesn’t see any of that shit at all - neither at work, nor on my extended family’s devices - I also wonder, how does this even happen?
My point was that the only time I ever see anything like this happen, is when people complain about it online.
I’ve managed around 10-20k Windows devices since Windows 10 came out. I’ve never seen a web search take priority over apps search. I’m honestly baffled as to where people are getting these screenshots from.
I saw it all the time. It drove me nuts. I’m not sure how you literally never see it, because my clean and fresh installs of windows always worked this way until I did a RegEdit update to kill the websearch in it.
I tried to disable web search entirely and it still prioritizes it over shit on my actual computer. Its infuriating and I will be moving to Linux when I get the time to get off 10.
It doesn’t exist “since about 1950”, mate. It’s actually hilarious just thinking about the sheer volume of transistors they’d need to do the basic AI operations back then. :D
The concept exists for a long while, sure, but by 2010 we’ve only had “deep learning” as the first stepping stone towards “something like” AI.
It most definitely wasn’t possible on the home PC hardware, and it would be absolutely ridiculous to have an “AI” doing this sort of thing, when it can be achieved for a marginal fraction of the resources with a simple weighing and sorting algorithm…

it happens by installing windows 11 home or probwithout running a decrapification script or applying gpos to disable it
None of the Win11 Home, nor Pro instances I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot) had that issue.
I did notice, however, that people complaining about were going very quiet very fast when asked if they used a “debloater” or some such…
The Person deciding only uses web services, so why should those pesky systems apps be showed first?

Maybe you have issues with your OS because you keep doing things the wrong way?
Why are you disabling this in the Registry instead of turning it off through settings?

Turn it off in settings. Open Search, click the three dots menu, “Search settings” and turn off “Let search apps show results”.
If you did and they still show up, your OS is busted and you should reinstall. Pro tip: don’t use any “debloaters”, they cause all kinds of headaches.
EDIT: if this is infuriating to the point you want to switch, skip Linux and go to Mac. Source: Linux user for over a year.
Haha, sorry, just realised that I read the comment completely wrong somehow
But to your comment, i have experienced that windows is trying to sort personalised, so order changes based on what you frequently use
I recognised that because i need to help my coworkers often and while the amount of letters needed to show me the app I need varies a lot
Ahh, maybe that’s why! Interesting! Also interesting how people end up in that situation and then complain about it online…
We all know how reliable AI is 😄 (personalised sorting is AI as well)
Personalised sorting is very much not AI. Unless you’re suggesting we’ve had AI since the early 90s?
Yes, we have
Only LLM that work “good enough” are “new”
AI exists since about 1950
