> Windows Search requires a DNS lookup

WHY? Why? Why. I’m seriously asking. Who thought that was a good idea? Who?! FIRE THEM.

NO USER ever in the history of Windows users ever said: “I want to search the contents of my computer, but windows search is too fast; can you please make windows search extremely slow, make it omit things that I know exist, and also make it search the internet? Also, I want you to index my laptop while it is sleeping in my bag, making my bag very hot, and using up all my battery trying to cool down so that I have no battery left when I open up the laptop.”

No one has ever asked for that, but we have it, we’ve had it for a long damn time.

The best thing about windows 11 is that if you hit the windows key, and type 'restart', it searches for 'restart' on Bing.

Please give me the name, rank, and serial number of the PM who thought this was a good idea. I will use all my meager fortune to make sure that nobody will want to hire them for PM work ever again.

Try and search for 'recycle bin' and you get zero local results in Windows 11. Unless you've gone and manually added the desktop icon into you Start menu items.

30 years ago, Win95 introduced the Recycle Bin. Maybe, just maybe, you should have made it discoverable via the Start menu by now?

I'd say that's the second best, after "there's probably a 5-10% chance the start menu search doesn't actually pop up correctly in the first place"

Easiest I've found is Windows+X, then 'u' for 'Shut Down or Restart' then 'r' for retart. Win+X, u, r.

BECAUSE ads that's why. They could have had the sense and respect for their users to make it async.

This started before suggestions in the start menu.
