@jcsteh @devinprater Because is inherently and it's dying a slow and painful death...

so my start menu stopped working again. On a whim, I hit Windows + S to see if the search box thing would open. It didn't. But then I hit the windows key again, and the start menu works again now. Somehow. For some reason. Anyway yeah that's a thing.

@GordonFawks @Hawkwinter also people kinda get socially groomed and gaslit into accepting this to be the norm.

Kinda like how people using get groomed into hating and people usong get groomed into accepting that computing is shit - both because they don't know better!
