1.) If you can get it, LTSB is your friend.

2.) Classic Shell is mandatory. How you could break the start menu search as profiundly as Windows 10 does is baffling.

2.) It isn't just Windows, Mac has done it too; Try this in spotlight:

'vsc' will show Visual Studio Code

'vsco' will show a web search of 'vscode extensions' and Visual Studio Code nowhere to be seen

'xc' will show Xcode

'xco' will show Xcode Server Builder

Yeah, it gets weird. First thing I do on every new Mac is disable Spotlight for everything except applications and system preferences, though, and that helps a lot.

xco shows Xcode for me.

Regarding the second point: I really don't get what's up with the start menu search. I don't use Win 10 all that often (secondary OS) and always assumed it's somehow broken for me. I almost never find anything I'm looking for and it feels absolutely ridiculous.

what? so it's not just me?

i assumed that it stopped working after i went ballistic in the privacy and telemetry sections of the control panel.

It’s one thing to rank results differently as you type but I can’t comprehend how entire results go away when they still should match as you continue.
