When I type upd, Windows Update comes first, then I type a, it gets replaced with Dell Update, then I type t, and Windows Update comes back. They are trying to keep us vigilant, I guess...

I have the exact same “problem” on my work PC. I want to find MS SQL Management Studio. Searching for “SQL” brings up nothing, but “manage” will match the app.

I had this just a few minutes ago. I wanted to manage BitLocker. Top result as I type:

B: Manage BitLocker

BI: Manage Bitlocker

BIT: Notepad ?????

AFAIK this is so that you could pick between multiple matches simply by continuing to type.

Why does it not match when I've typed more of the filename?

Then try typinng in "Internet Explorer" .. it stays on Microsoft Edge with a "Recommended" label underneath. I know it's recommended, but I need IE for a specific site... So make a shortcut and put it on the desktop. Slowly the start menu is loosing it's role as it's getting obnoxious.
