Microsoft is planning to improve Windows 11's Start menu search to make it more predictable and faster, with fewer irrelevant app results. Design director Diego Baca confirmed on X that search performance and predictability are active areas of improvement. The changes are part of a broader Windows 11 refresh that also includes scaling back Copilot AI integration, restoring a vertical taskbar option, improving File Explorer, and reducing search clutter such as ads and web recommendations in favor of local file results.
