    Windows loves the old. Did you mean to “bing” for “notes” rather that the app called notepad or notepad++ or the folder in desktop called “notes”. Thanks Microsoft.

      Disable that shit with O&O Shut Up 10. I also recommend StartAllBack and MSEdgeRedirect. Those three tools combined fix 90% of peoples’ issues with Windows 10/11. Gets rid of ads, AI, and other annoyances like trying to force Edge and Bing upon you.

          This is the way. I left the absuive relationship with Microsoft a few months after the Steam Deck got released. Valve proved to me that Linux can do gaming well now and that GNOME is not the only desktop environment to choose from.

      I’ve been using Power Toys to get some of that sweet stuff back. You can install it without admin access so it even works on clamped down corporate hardware.

      Basically you can set up a quick switcher (Command Palette) and you can type to search, and use parameters to quickly only find a certain thing (app, file, folder), or just run a command or run math without using the calculator.
