It used to be when it was basically just a folder of shortcuts. Since the metro interface the start menu has been getting worse and slower.
Comment on Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12

I too, think the Windows start menu is way too responsive and not buggy enough. /s

I only know of Win 7 and Win 10, never touch 8, 8.1 nor 11. I still use win10 at work and the start menu is very odd. I like to use the win key to summon the menu and search, but the behavior is very inconsistant, sometimes it’s fast, sometimes very slow, sometimes I can search, sometimes not, sometimes it gives me the file/app i am looking for, and sometimes it decides to go for bing results. I must admit, I actully never ever navigate the menu itself appart from turning off the laptop. It is a very slow and inefficient design element in my opinon.

Weirdly enough the windows 11 start menu has gotten better.

I personally don’t find anything I like about the win11 start menu, it feels like such a huge step backwards to me

What are you talking about, it always takes me to the right website when I search for the app I just installed!
