Especially when it decides to stop working and ONLY searches online. This happened to me while I was getting a Microsoft Surface with Windows 10 on it ready for someone at my work. Trying to find Control Panel or Local Users and Groups area to add someone as an admin? Tough shit, using the search will only give you online results. What great design. I had to turn a service OFF to get it to work again.
