For whatever reasony work tools on Linux aren't working right now, so I am using win10 for the moment.

The start menu is a fucking nightmare. I don't care about what's on the internet when I am looking for my software. This isn't a mobile phone.

What's even worse is that I know what the name of my software is. But half the time, when I use the start menu, the web results and ads load first and it takes a while to show my software, if it ever shows up at all.

Install Classic Shell. It lets you change the windows UI to go back to the old Windows 7 UI (or earlier.)

Let's not live in the past. Just disable internet searching from the start menu.

I agree, it shouldn't have been built in and on by default and it should be easier to disable.

Personally I think Win10 start was peak Windows start because it was the most customizable.
