In the past, the Start menu only listed local apps. Nowadays, the Start menu is a glorified webview that loads arbitrary ads from remote networks and integrates with a half-baked AI. No wonder it's slow and buggy.

Open Shell (formerly Classic Shell) is a godsend that restores some semblance of sanity to the Start menu, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Windows 11.

Here's the discussion thread on GitHub regarding Windows 11 compatibility:

https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/discussions/74...

TL;DR - it's mostly working with some outstanding bugs and some users giving workarounds in that thread
