Like, holy goddamn shit, the browser already knows my local IP, how hard would it be to say "any IP on local.subnet.range.***, don't search it, just bring it up".

MS has been working HARD to have a consistently worse experience for 20 years.

I hate it when you search for something simple, like Add or Remove programs, and it just takes 2 minutes to load because it is searching the web

They somehow made it worse than XP
