I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don't drive usability issues.

    My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute, totally blank with no options

    I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shite? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3)

    Menus have always worked before.

    My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited.

    I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.

      That’s because Windows 11 now uses React Native for a lot of things, including parts of the Start Menu. So something that shouldn’t be, is extremely resource intensive.
