the start menu on Windows 10 is still unusable to me, so I end up just searching. sometimes it doesn't even find a match when I type the exact name of the app I'm trying to launch. it's computer software that can't search text. I think it's really good though and I hope that Microsoft makes a lot of money forcing people to buy new computers with Windows licenses attached to them. isn't Jesus wonderful? God works in mysterious ways. I believe he has a plan for all of us. I'm taking a shit
The start menu is actually pretty good if you spend some time customizing it with your apps and programs. Having organized folders and groups is a "game changer" (ok not really, it's neat though) for me.
I also recommend adding all the programs to the start menu scrolling thingy. There is a folder somewhere on C: that you can put shortcuts into and they appear in the scrolling menu. Don't ever rely on the search to launch programs that aren't in that menu or setup comprehensive indexing yourself.
Or just use "everything" to search for everything. Everything is extremely fast and indexes everything (hence it's name) very quickly, and you can search with wildcards or boolean operators or my favorite regex.
I have absolutely no desire to do any such thing
Then don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I do it because it makes my life easier (especially with "Everything") and it doesn't take long to do. But you do you.
okay thank you that's very cool and good
