  1. Win 10 change search order


    Ok something that's been driving me crazy for some weeks now, and I don't know when this changed but it was probably a windows update of some kind:


    • It used to be like this: I'd hit the Windows key, start typing for example "cal", hit enter, and the calculator would start.


    • now it's like this: I hit Windows key, start typing "cal", hit enter and it launches a web search with Bing for "cal". If I want to start the calculator I have to write "cal", press down twice to get to the "app" section of the search, and then enter.

    Like what the hell, why would anyone want it like that? How do I change it back so it always launches the app instead of this useless "best match" web search?

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Change Wireless Network Connection Priority Order in Windows 10


    Hello Denis, Win 10 change search order :)

    The command in step 2 of Option Two should show your wireless networks listed in priority order. Top of the list is higher.

    Win 10 change search order

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?
