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

    But don’t you want to have what I’ve come to enjoy: Printer roulette?

    Win, “printer”, enter…come on Printer and Scanner control panel, baby wants a new printer queue to kill that stuck job…dammit edge, no I don’t want to search bing for an inkjet.

    Win, “printer”…, enter…come on Control Panel, you can do it…HP Smart Panel, you piece of crap

      It amazes me that print management continues to be so spectacularly bad in Windows. It’s been terrible since my first days using Win 3.1 and it has never gotten better.

      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
