One of the most annoying things about Windows 11 (and 10) is how it shows web results when you're just looking for local data. You might click on the Windows search box just because you want to find the shortcut to your favorite app or that Word doc you've been working on. But instead of getting a list of results from your computer, you're shown search results in Bing. And these search results slow you down by pinging the Internet.
Even when you first click on the search box, you have to wait a few seconds while Windows pulls down a list of featured MSN.com news stories and search results. That's extra time you're wasting while waiting for the UI, just so Microsoft can promote its web content and service.
