That makes the usability and performance of the windows start menu even more embarrassing.

The decline of Windows as a user facing product is amazing, especially as they are really good at developing things they care about. The “back of house” guts of Windows has improved alot, for example. They should just have a cartoon Bill Gates pop up like clippy and flip you the bird at this point.

It has both indexing failures and multi-day performance issues for mere kilobytes of text!
