Yeah, I've only used the search box since Windows 7 when it was introduced. I find it a lot faster than clicking through the menu. It seems like it's difficult for some people to get the hang of after so many years without that option being available though. I do believe it's on Microsoft for not introducing it well though.

Win+R worked for decades. It is not search, but programs like calc, regedit, notepad, excel went into MRU and autocompleted the next time you type it. Search is a mental stress for me since I have to check if it is 1) completed, 2) which result is mine, 3) tons of Documents/ garbage pops up for too few letters.

And now they killed quick launch bar, so I have to look for a task button and scroll-click on it [inconveniently] to start another window. I’m using 7taskbar+ or something like that to return back to 2000s.
