Except if you start typing just after booting, the search service (or something) isn't running yet and it doesn't give you any results even if you wait...
I hate using Windows 10 because I am constantly hitting new unique bugs in the UI, and regularly enough I run into complete show-stoppers. Windows UI is just so broken.
I do run into bugs on Ubuntu, but usually there is a workaround. And I have lower expectations when it costs $0 (and without the trillion dollar market cap of Microsoft).
I also regularly find bugs in macOS, which annoys me since we pay such a premium for Apple software.
I would prefer if it would just give me no results. Half the time when I hit the windows key, type what I want and hit enter it will open an Edge window with Bing search results for what I typed.
You can turn that off. It's not easy and they keep changing how you do it, but with enough registry keys you can kill Cortana and all the associated bollocks and return to an actually useful system search.
Windows 10 is back to system search focused by default in 1903. Cortana was refocused to voice-centric and the interfaces (and buttons) are now distinct between system search and Cortana. Rumors are Cortana may even be an optional install in 19H2 or 20H1.
There is a bug where if you disable blinking textcursors, notifications in the taskbar never gets cleared. Been that way since Windows 7. How are those two things related?
