Andy Young, who previously worked as a senior software engineer at Microsoft, recently shared his disappointment with Windows 11, particularly the slow Start menu performance. Although he has a high-end computer with a powerful Core i9 processor and 128 GB of RAM, he finds the system search function extremely slow.
Young took to social media to express his frustration by posting a video showing the Start menu not working properly. He had to restart it because the search wouldn’t even start. When he tried again, everything went slowly and the search results took too long to appear.
Having been part of the team that built Windows, Young’s criticisms take on particular significance. He loves Windows and has a strong connection to it, but he’s also honest about the issues many users are unhappy with in Windows 11.
These issues aren’t just Young’s personal issues: they’re widely recognized as part of the challenges Windows 11 has faced since its release in 2021. The system’s strict requirements have made it difficult for many people to upgrade, which which is one of the main problems. reasons why businesses are slow to adopt Windows 11.
The Windows 11 journey has been difficult, with many users reluctant to upgrade to the new system, especially when it doesn’t perform well. Young’s ideas, coming from someone who knows the system inside and out, highlight the need for Microsoft to make improvements. They need to ensure that Windows 11 not only meets, but exceeds the quality of previous versions, delivering the performance and reliability people expect from a Microsoft operating system.
On a related note, Microsoft is testing a new feature for some users that helps test early versions of Windows 11. This feature suggests apps from the Microsoft Store that you might like and displays those suggestions in the Start menu. But it’s only for testers in the United States at the moment, and it won’t appear on computers used by businesses. If you don’t want to see these suggestions, you can turn them off in settings. Microsoft is just trying this to see what people think, and it may not become a permanent part of Windows. They start with a small group of testers and want to hear their feedback
