Same here. Sometimes I’ll click on it a good five or eight times before it comes up. When people say Windows 10 is good, I feel like they’re living in an alternate dimension.

I think you guys are the exceptions to the norm here, and not the norm. I have too many computers at home, some verrry slow ones, and they all pop up the start menu within a second or two unless I've just booted the PC. I work with a lot of people who use Windows 10 all day long, and I've never heard one of them ever complain about a slow start menu. Complaints about search results? Absolutely. I suspect it's something you're installing, and I'm sure you'll deny that (and you very well could be right, I don't know) and these things are time consuming to diagnose, unfortunately.

  Any sufficiently popular OS is probably going to suck for ~tens of thousands of users while at least hundreds of thousands more wonder what the fuss is about.

Maybe not the norm, but we're not the only ones. It's obviously an issue that exists.

  I think we need a full reset of user expectations. Menus taking 1-2 seconds is not okay!!
