Can we get a search that just looks at local machine, not fucking web results?
Did they remove that? From what I remember there were 3 options along the top and one was local files.
People are leaving !
Quick, remove ads and wait 6 months before you re-enable them!
This is exactly what they’re doing. Buy some goodwill. Continue turning up the temperature in a few months. They think they can boil the frog eventually.
Way back when, I loved Windows XP. I was always dorking around with it, seeing what I could do to personalize and customize it. I had that mindset until Windows 11. I just couldn't anymore.
So I finally tried Linux. It turns out, this is exactly what I wanted back in the XP days. I just never had the need to try it. Now that Microslop has forced my hand, I've experienced the environment outside of windows. As such, I really don't see what they could possibly do to bring me back.
I don't trust them to not re-enable it. uninstalling windows instead ensures they won't reenable it..
Too little, too late
Whoa, I member Vista introducing widgets, no idea they evolved into spam, but I mean ofc they did.
What utility do widgets have, anyway? I've only ever viewed them as an OS native yahoo-style front page. Among the first things I turn off on any Wimdows machine I use.
It must somehow make MS a bunch of money for it to get so much of their attention.
There's not even any use of the widget panel, like that phone link widget is now integrated in the start menu. And if I need any other 3rd party widget to use in the panel, then those widgets are paid. ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)
Worse, the panel is actively bothersome. If you are left handed and use touch screen, the damn panel will constantly and randomly jump out since it's located in the left corner. And of course you can't disable or move it. That alone would have been enough for me to throw 11 into the trash where it belongs
