I disable web search and Cortana, and it makes all the difference in the world for Win key + type the first few characters of an app:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
    "ConnectedSearchUseWeb"=dword:00000000
    "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000

Wow, you can do that??

There ought to be an unofficial Windows 10 Settings app that uncovers stuff like this. Somehow Microsoft isn't quite getting it right and they ship Windows 10 with two different ones...

It's at a new location now because why not:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
