    you can disable the web search, and it’s really snappy with ms web integration garbage.

      You can disable searching as a fall-through, but you cannot disable web results appearing inside of the menu itself, which is what slows it down. At least, that was the case for the first 4 years or so before I stopped using Windows 10 and switched to Linux.

        you can fully disable all online/web search features in search using a group policy on Pro versions of windows. afaik there are even one click tools that can do that for you (pretty sure even good ol’ OOSU10 can do it)

        You can, and the search speed is much improved. I deployed that group policy to all my w10/11 boxes.

        you can, it’s just harder to do. I suggest find a debloater tool, and use it. Also remove cortana thing to make it even faster. There are some tools that let’s you remove all WinRT apps

          … or I could just use dmenu on an OS that I don’t have to “debloat” to make useable?
