Need help! Many category folders (such as "Productivity tools," "Creativity," "Games," etc.) have automatically appeared in my Start Menu, grouping the application icons that were previously displayed directly. I simply want the apps to be shown directly in the Start Menu as they used to be, rather than being categorized into these folders. How can I turn off or remove these automatically categorized folders?Can we get Microsoft to make the CorePC modular OS into a windows 12 smooth experience?
Guys I was thinking microsoft should change the software architecture for windows on ARM devices since they chose to use a unified memory architecture and ram consumption is nuts, I thought we could maybe convince them into making it so that the Os they seem to be planning to make for arm devices is rlly lightweight and modular, if compatibility was an issue they could maybe make a wine-like compatibility layer that doesnt run unless the program is categorized as x64 rather than arm, like a "better prism" which is the current compatibility layer, and maybe make better use of the npu so it actually helps the OS rather than just idling there, unmenacingly, MICROSOFT TEAM IF U SEE THIS PLEASE DO I NEED THIS, THESE ARM DEVICES HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE KINDA BAD PLEASEEEEEE, GET EM BOYSSleep and wake issues on PC

To fix the Windows Search problem after an update, restart the Windows Search service, rebuild the search index through advanced indexing options, and run the search and indexing troubleshooter. Additionally, check for and install available Windows updates, then restart the computer to see if the issue is resolved. If problems persist, consider resetting Windows Search or running a system file check using the command prompt.

Security vulnerabilities or malware infections on Windows PC
Hey everyone, I'm pretty sure my Windows PC got hit with something nasty—I'm seeing random pop-ups, weird background processes eating up my CPU, and my browser keeps redirecting to sketchy sites no matter what I do. I've already run Windows Defender and Malwarebytes, but they're not finding anything, so I'm wondering if there's a deeper rootkit or a manual removal method that actually works for this kind of infection without having to nuke my whole system. Any help would be huge, thanks!Security vulnerabilities or malware infections on Windows PC

New Search Issues
I just updated to 26h2 26300.8697. The window search window doesnt load anything anymore and the button does not have the changing icon on the taskbar. The search window pops up but nothing loads and there is just the loading animation zipping across the top of the window. Any ideas?
