    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.

        RegEdit update to kill the websearch in it.

        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?

      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.

        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…

            Personalised sorting is very much not AI. Unless you’re suggesting we’ve had AI since the early 90s?

                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 is all about definition of AI, it seems to me, that you only consider token transfmators which produce text and images as AI, while I consider AI as an umbrella term including machine lets which exist since 1950, mate

                    AI is very specifically defined as “Artificial Intelligence”. A quite complex calculator (devices possible in the 50s) is not an AI.

                    To be fair, the current tech we call “AI” is not really AI either. We’re a couple of decades away from that still.
