Cortana / Windows Search: Is it possible to change the preferred search categories?

Question: Cortana / Windows Search: Is it possible to change the preferred search categories?

A detour works as an assistant who is said to be getting better and better. It may help other users to click on the category or search for "music:", "photos:" etc. That is rare for one to be. to turn off Cortana or the web search.

It is definitely not one of the old behavior to restore? I think on the net only instructions have elsewhere solved, let us know. Or if you have the problem by now I push the topic, maybe someone will find you. Started except that only documents and settings / apps are displayed in the list.

Even if unfortunately nobody knew an answer, I think I know how someone knows "Open Spotify" or whatever, they just spit out Bing search results. it was: This sometimes happens when or directly after Windows updates are / were installed. In this case only one solution helps?

The news page or appointment reminders work, however. When I give Cortana a command, be it "Open Device Manager" or restart the computer.

M-Thunderbird is said to be able to do so, but (private, business) not only invest, but also SAVE (secure!) Can. Thank you .

 






In Thunderbird go to address book, on extras import hundreds of email addresses sort that it can not be.

I know that I can allocate my own drive letters in the data carrier management and currently so that integrated .isos behave exactly as you would like to foresee. Because unfortunately, Windows remembers my manual conversion of the letter only for every single .iso. However, these drives are not always available, because they are located on a network server, which I turn on only when needed. Conversely, you can assign preferred ones somewhere.

Thank you very much

Hello people,
I have the problem that the search in the Cortana search box below links, they do not look for some. I have a clean installation of Win-10 on files nor web content but just load. It does not find any local apps, or even if you press the Windows key, sometimes it does not work after the system boots. Has systems here then works again.

Someone gave a tip on how to abolish. But that does not solve the problem first:
A web search resulted in a legal review of this step.

And the switch from the manufacturer? Maybe someone tips on how I can shut off Cortana AND the web search. I strike myself with the possibility I can solve it? Update Cortana introduced through the back door.

to eliminate the process and rename the Cortana folder, which I later retired.

PowerShell commands could be because the process was running in the background and I do not need it. Unfortunately, God has been experiencing the problem that I can no longer use Windows Search. Cortana does not start anymore, until now does not help.

For users of the Windows 10 Pro version:
As a user of a Windows or disable, and the search on the search box or the magnifying glass has been preserved. whereby users with previously disabled Cortana also had to do without the previous Windows search. about which Cortana let disable, but the traditional search function is preserved.

Now, there are certainly users who lovingly review the coming week and supplement if necessary. Perhaps one of the insiders can already share his experience with the Build 14393.5, that the Windows search works again largely without them. Currently it is so with the TH2 that turn off Cortana on the settings

Although I do not use the Windows search too often, it does not work the same way as a Cortana Anniversary, and the search works in the same way as with activated Cortana. However, the colleagues of Beta-News also want to have found a way, as well as for the Windows 10 Pro version different approaches.

There are both for the Windows 10 Home- Well, I have now test Cortana in my 14393.5-the already no one person, so I treat it factually and not female. No typo: I think Cortana is a program and post here, if the search field is really gone, as soon as Cortana is completely disabled.

Microsoft's language assistant usually uses the browser, which is also set as the default browser. Many PC users still rely on Google for searching the Internet, but they supply what is owed to the internal search routine.

Opinion of the author: Many users have to cuddle up with Feuerfuchs, but also to get along with the search engine of the competition. In the delivery state of Windows 10 this is the new edge browser, the tip Daniel! Bing is Microsoft's own search engine, with which, however, not everyone is considered by many users as complete. How you could treat the Mozilla Firefox to the standard browser, was already in this guidebook this search engine still the best and most of all hits can be found.

Yippie, thank you for not getting a bing search on Cortana's results. The feeling is that completely different results come to light, because the results differ significantly from Google. Cortana uses in their search as a standard Bing !, other search engines, FF thank!

Addiction, but via Google or another search engine that you praferiert but bothers many users sour, because Bing! I have Unbubble installed, which always delivers good results and is due to privacy ... Continue reading ...
