For the Windows 10 start menu you may benefit from disabling it's "online" component. On my system it makes opening the start menu and searching for items nearly instant:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
    "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001
While you're there, you can also reduce menu delay:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
    "MenuShowDelay"="20"
Windows 10 really benefits from tuning. I periodically run WDP and O&O ShutUp10++ to turn off various telemetry things and my system is super snappy (870 EVO, 4th Gen i7, 32GB, 1080Ti).
