This is shocking to me. I’ve got a success rate of maybe 20%, the other times it will search the web for something, list a top option that’s completely unrelated to my search while the app with the the exact same name as the term I searched is right below it. Granted that second one is fine-ish, but I’m used to Linux where muscle memory gas me pressing enter as soon as I’ve typed what I want, and if I do that on windows it starts the wrong app.
By find apps, do you mean the ones I installed already or ones in their marketplace or whatever?
Because I’ve never been able to have it find my own god damn programs that I installed locally and fully given up on ever using the start menu.
I despise that it defaults to a web search if it can’t find what I’m looking for, which is most often a very real setting that I know exists…
How does it not work? My Win11 start menu is flawless, start typing receive app, no ads.
