      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 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…
