Try your security settings in Windows. You should be able to disable all except file and folder results.

Try searching under file explorer brother. Task Bar is used to find applications etc.

That’s true, but the task bar search is still kind of garbage at that in Windows 11.

It seemed a little better in 10 but maybe I’m misremembering.

Useful post.

If the popup ads seem really excessive you probably are infected with malware. Hopefully your work IT people can clean you up. The bad guys have gotten very adept at slipping a Trojan Horse in.

Internet searches have become extremely annoying. Google may be the worst for dumping a long list of paying customers on you in front of the correct sites. That's how they make lots of money. Load the Tor browser and search with Duck Duck Go.
