Power toys run - Windows settings are sometimes shown first and do not respond to Global sort order score modifier

Open joaopdecarvalho opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.71.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

None

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

It happens with lots of searches, but for example: when searching for "webflow" I type "web" and the first result is always "Apps for Websites" no matter how much I use the Webflow app and dont use "Apps for Websites". Changing the Global sort order score modifier both on programs and on Windows settings seems to have no effect.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Show me "Webflow" before showing me "Apps for Websites".

❌ Actual Behavior

It shows me "Apps for Websites" and the Global sort order score modifier does not seem to be having any effect.

Other Software

No response

Can confirm, same issue here. Typing "disc" leads to "Connect to a wireless display" (search key: discovery ...) showing up first instead of "Discord", even though the priority for the settings has been set to -250 (way below the +20 of applications).

Let me know if screenshots / video recordings are needed.

I think this is related to these hardcoded scores.

Looks like a similar issue to #24870
