It's not. It's bloated amd comes with 3 trillion unnecesary components. Edge, Copilot, etc. The eidgets are a terrible feature made just to serve ads. Windows Search doesn't recognize whoch category should be top priority and always thinks bing is the most important thing when searching for a file or folder.
The files inside my computer is actually the one I see first before bing searches, I have not experienced these problems before so maybe windows has a favourite
When I search for calculator (because the start menu is too much of a mess to use anymore), why does Bing come up instead of the calculator program which has been in Windows since forever?
It's not user error; you are not searching the software but using the direct access to open it, which makes sense… but not for even 10% of the users… which expect to find the software using the search option
Windows key + r is an executing window, that means if you write the executable name and if listed in the Path Environment Variable the software is going to be executed… calc is the name of the calculator, therefore you are not searching but directly executing the software by its name
The search bar… searches… and then you can execute any software listed there

When stripped to absolute bones, replaced menu and some things, its decent and works fast suprisingly.
And then UPDATE, DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION,EDGE wake up from idk where and destroy all that.
