  • Have you disabled Cortana or performed any actions that might have disabled the "spying" in Windows 10. These actions can play havoc on Windows Search if not done properly. A screenshot would be helpful, there are about 20 "Windows 10" search questions on Superuser, I have my doubts, their answer(s) don't address your problem.

  • @Ramhound It's not really a fault, I believe search works as intended, except that the default behaviour is highly irritating to me and I wonder if it can be changed. I do get the correct results and in reasonable time (similar to Win7), but the new default action makes it very cumbersome to use. What I'm referring to is this: imgur.com/Rj5nEpq — this is the default entry that is always there before the actual results, and messes up the Return key handling. I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of it and have only actual results appear in the list, as it was in Windows 7.

  • The only answer I have is to use a third-party program to modify the start menu.
