I finally fixed that annoying Search the web lag in my Start Menu with one registry edit
Every time I tap into the Start Menu search, Windows tries a little too hard to be helpful. Instead of just looking on my own machine, it fires off a Bing query and drags in web content, even when all I am after is a local file or app. This idea dates back to Windows 10 and remains active in Windows 11. The Start menu is not content with opening Excel anymore. It wants to tell you the weather, show you stock tickers, surface trending news, and sprinkle in Bing results for good measure. While this may sound feature-rich, it significantly slows the search experience, which is why I stopped using the Windows Start menu for a while.
