automatic search starts on fast by clicking on

Sometimes, when I'm game and get in a panic situation and quickly, click on my (set to 'r' for run) programmable mouse button, it opens a windows search and of course the search engine is a priority for windows, it minimizes the game and I got a little annoyed.
What we call this feature of windows, and more important still, how can I disable it? It is not something I need or want.
Thank you
Iain

Hi Iain_the_curious,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

If you turn off windows search, you may not be able to find files or folders by using the search feature.

If you still want to continue, follow the steps below

Open Services through Control Panel, or by typing services.msc into the start menu search box. Find "Windows Search" in the list of services and double-click it to open it.

Change the type of service to disabled startup, and then click the Stop button to stop the service.

At this point, Windows Search service is completely disabled.

Hope this helps
Let us know if you need additional assistance.

Kind regards.

    Hi AnaSk,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    The Code 10 error applies mainly to the problems of hardware driver and devices or compatibility problems between the drivers of equipment and additional software that is installed in Windows.

    Download and install the latest drivers from the computer's network adapter or the website of the manufacturer of the device.

  • FF34. How to stop the new searches starting at the changing choice of search engine?

    I spend much enigines of different looks, such as IMDB, Alex webster, Wikipedia, YACY and so immediately, and with previous versions when I chose a new search engine from the drop-down list it does not immediately start a new search. I don't want a new search started I press enter or tap on the search icon. How can I stop FF to do this? I don't like FF it is because I don't want the already searched for a term to be used automatically to a new choice of search engine. This is the reason why I choose to use another search engine previously.

    You can return to the former regime of the search like this bar.

    Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar)
    Do a right click and toggle this false preference

    browser.search.showOneOffButtons

    Then restart Firefox.

    I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc? Most of the time it doesn't quite work.

    Hello

    There are a number of possible reasons, your computer may run slowly - virus infection or malware, missing to defragment the hard drive, too many programs loading at startup - and all with different causes / solutions. So here goes:

    Virus/Malware - Download, install and run these scanners (only Avast so you do not have your own antivirus installed):

    Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

    SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

    Avast Antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Disk Defragging - install and run this app: http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.html .

    Startup programs - install this application, then select start only the programs you need to run at startup, as your antivirus, firewall, but not your Disk Defragmenter (examples):

    Splash Guard: http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Guard/3000-2239_4-10958203.html.

    Also, your system's drivers are up-to-date? Updated the driver can also slow down your system. Go to HP.com and insert the complete your laptop model number in the search box to find your latest drivers.

    Let me know if these speed up your pc.

  • When I turn on my computer, I get a bubble in the lower right of the desktop that says: "a program has been blocked from editing your search default setting". Then "click to change your notification settings."

    Whenever I turn on my computer I have a bubble in the lower right corner of the desktop that says: 'Search Settings Notification' then 'program has been blocked from modifying your search default setting". Then "click to change your notification settings."
    When I click I get a box called Toolbar Options. Tab shows the search parameters. Statement: "search settings protects your search settings of the browser to keep the programs change without your knowledge." I am then presented with 2 boxes checked with the following instructions: 1. protect my browser default search and let know me of any attempt to change it.  2. enable the browser error Network Wizard page.  Downstairs, the options are either save or cancel.
    My question is what does all this mean? Should I uncheck boxes or both? How can I avoid this message occurs ever time I turn on PC?
    I must tell you that my browser is Mozilla Firefox.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I would check the first box for sure, the second is not as important but probably a good idea to choose from as well. Once you save it, it should not appear again.

  • Spikes of huge ping because the computer automatically search nearby wifi networks

    For the past two years now, I had huge ping spikes every 2-3 minutes and is two months ago I wanted to solve the problem. I looked at the issue and of course I found people with the same problem and even provide tools to resolve. The problem is that my laptop is automatically search for nearby wifi networks, causing of the huge ping spikes, as seen here. The tool had stopped my computer from searching nearby wifis, it worked for about a week before I began to experience ping spikes again, the program had suddenly stopped working (I reinstalled it several times). then I looked at once more the question and found another tool. Parasol, it stopped working as well and I have no idea why. I tried to reinstall both programs, restart several things to look for other alternatives to google, but I found nothing. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would be very happy!

    Hello

    There is a particular configuration for cards wireless called roaming aggressiveness that indicates the rate at which the wireless client automatically selects and switches to another wireless with a better signal quality. This can be checked on the advanced settings of the driver for your wireless card.

    To get help on the configuration of roaming aggressiveness, we suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the device. You can check this link to find the addresses of the OEM.

  • Some .exe files do not immediately start after a double click.

    Some .exe files do not immediately start after a double click. However, the CPU usage is in place and I can see the name of the image file in the Task Manager process. But when you double-clicked once again, it opens and the CPU usage is even higher. It's like running two same .exe files. I already ran Microsoft Security Essentials to remove all viruses if that's the case, but it did not help. Is there something wrong with the files?

    This happens because your antivirus starts to scan the file when you try to run it. You can check by

    1 disable antivirus real-time protection (note to Moderator: not recommended!) and try to run the file again
    or
    2. open Task Manager > go to processes (or details if it is WIndows 8) > run file > monitor processes belongs to antivirus to see if they consume the CPU power
    If this is the case, it is made by antivirus normal safety measure to keep you protected.

    2: stick to
