   Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:

   * Show my installed programs
   * Search my local files
   * Provide access to system settings

   Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:

   * Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
   * Show tabloid headlines
   * Show programs I *don't* have installed
   * Search the web via Bing
   * Show adverts(!)
   * Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM

   Thanks.

     @ghalfacree I’m sorry. I know the feeling. Hang in there, it’ll be over soon.
