Don't forget that the start menu has regressed into a CLI because it is too ponderous to find anything by graphical navigation. Regressed, because typed querys take seconds to complete.
I loved this feature in Windows 7, because all it did there was an exact substring match over the items in the Start menu. As a result, it was instant.
The Windows 10 one where it's trying to do a Bing search, look through the Microsoft Store for apps to buy and who knows what else is... I can see what they're trying to do, but if you have 24 years of ingrained habit of only using Start to launch programs it's annoying having the feature made so CPU and disk intensive to add options you don't use. At least Microsoft have put a lot of work into improving it. Using some of the early iterations on a slow spinning-rust laptop would frequently result in the process searching your installed programs timing out, leaving only the web search option.
So pretty much the only thing I boot into Windows for nowadays is to play FF14.
My routine is always the same: log in, open Chrome if it didn't open already (happens 50% of the time), and then open the start menu, type fi, and click the first icon that appears.
