    Trying to remove McAfee from a friends lappy after upgrading, resetting, and upgrading again to win 10. And it should be easy, according to McAfee site (hah! Heard that before!) Just go to "Add and Remove Programs" in "Settings" and take it out. So...Windows 10. "Windows button", "Settings" - don't see it, so I'll search, using the Settings search box... Search "add" - "No results for add" Search "Add" - "No results for Add" Search "uni" (as the beginning of "uninstall") - and the first result is "Add or remove programs"... :doh: So...it's a search that only finds things if you look for completely different text? That's a bit surreal, even for MS!

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

    Dunno, works for me. And you could have right-clicked on the Start button -> Programs and Features, you know... :laugh:

        Searching for items has never been Windows or Microsoft's strong site, just look at Bing. I remembered the first time I used that, and Search up MSDN, the first link was to a site with pictures of naked girls. :)

            Well to be fair, most Google searches are probably trying to find those pictures, so maybe they were just anticipating demand? :laugh:

                    Maybe Microsoft just thought it would help relieve some of the frustration from using bing? Like a sorry that you have to use our search engine, here are some nudes instead.

                      Yeah, statistically its probably the correct result for male searchers regardless of the search words. :laugh:

                              "Settings" is third from the bottom on the Desktop menu. Click on the logo at bottom left, you can't miss it. Unless your mate is running the Welsh Ffenestri version. ;)

                                          Trying to remove McAfee from a friends lappy after upgrading, resetting, and upgrading again to win 10. And it should be easy, according to McAfee site (hah! Heard that before!) Just go to "Add and Remove Programs" in "Settings" and take it out. So...Windows 10. "Windows button", "Settings" - don't see it, so I'll search, using the Settings search box... Search "add" - "No results for add" Search "Add" - "No results for Add" Search "uni" (as the beginning of "uninstall") - and the first result is "Add or remove programs"... :doh: So...it's a search that only finds things if you look for completely different text? That's a bit surreal, even for MS!

                                          Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
