For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

    I mean, thats fair. But as it currently is the search bar is basically worthless to the average user now as well. I guess my point is that a basic computer search function shouldnt require advanced comfortablility with computers to be able to acquire

      Oh I agree completely. I also think a lot of people just don't realize that many of the things they think of as part of Windows can be tweaked or removed, so they just sit there assuming they have to live with it when there's a fix that most people could implement if they google a how-to guide (or they could ask their nerdy friend).

      I love helping friends set up Windows installs, because they're always so shocked at how little clutter there is and how well everything works. At the same time it makes me mad that all of that is necessary at all, and I'm swearing at Microsoft the whole time I'm helping them.
