Just for your reference, I've got Windows 10 and Powershell 5.1 running on an SSD (probably the only hardware that matters for program launch, really). I can hit Win-X-I and start typing commands as fast as possible and Powershell is up instantly and I've never missed initial characters on a command. For interactive use, it's always there and up quickly. This is in contrast to the typical start menu search which takes about a second before it registers keystrokes and I'm always searching for something missing the first few letters of the file or executable name.
