  1. Why doesn't microsoft fix windows 10 search. It is truly awful, or slightly worse than that.


    I had better search capability on my windows computer 30 years ago.


    Why doesn't Microsoft hire some outside consultants to help them figure out what is wrong and why Microsoft customers hate windows 10 search.


    I am willing to help, if Microsoft wants to put me on contract, but know this....I am not politically correct. I'll be truthful and provide critical useful information, but I'm not cheap.


    If interested contract me at *** Email address is removed for privacy *** in the next 24 hours.


    regards,

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    10 doesn’t fix the desktop it fixes 8's reputation


    If I am not mistaken, you're referring to is the Metro Search settings:


    Why doesn't microsoft fix windows 10 search.  It is truly awful, or slightly worse than that. [​IMG]


    That does not stop the "explorer.exe" from connecting to the MS server. For that matter, it does not stop connecting to Bing either. Those settings just suppress the results from Bing.

    The bing and some of the local searches results/tracking can be cleared, with some disclaimer; see the second image for details...

    I know I am being tracked, it's not that. I just want to know who's's tracking and how. This is an updated OS and I have some reservation about its tracking features, based on the previous version. Some people don't care, but that's fine...

    How do you figure that duckduckgo logged on to my computer? Especially in the case when the system process with PID 0 makes the connection to that site. Never mind that there's a hardware firewall between the system and the internet and then a software firewall on this system that blocks all inbound connection attempt from the internet. You lost me there...

    And again, I did not install different tools for search purposes. This is a plain W10 install with Firefox, Sysinternal Tools, and WireShark. And yes, duckduckgo is the default search for IE11 and FF. I just fail to see why a kernel process would make a connection to the default search site.

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    I guess who still uses windows 7 has this problem, Microsoft is forcing people to upgrade to Windows 10
