The Start Menu sucks again.

They have to fuck it up every other major release now so they can improve it (by making it work like it used to) in the next release.

It literally dedicates half the menu space to pins (like… the pins that are already right next to the Start button so why would you even use Start to get there?).  This pins space on the Start Menu is not optional and does not go away if you empty it like in 10.

The rest of the space is dedicated to “recommendations.”  These consist mainly of your most used apps (which are probably already pinned to your task bar, right next to the Start button, so why would you even use Start to get there?).

You have to click All Apps before the Start Menu will do what you would think it is ostensibly there to do, but you would be wrong—the new Start Menu exists only to piss you off.

I just got my first computer since like... I don't know, 15 years ago. Navigating that start menu is a fucking nightmare. Nothing in Windows 11 is intuitive. None of it makes any sense. It's like everything is hidden in unrelated submenus. Spent like 45 minutes searching for My Computer only to realise there is none. Why are program files so difficult to navigate?
