Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

This won't fix your app roulette problem, but you should be able to disable searching the web with the search bar in group policy

As long as you have a Pro version. Home versions of Windows have Group Policy Editor disabled.
