The Start menu is not an Electron app. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

That makes the usability and performance of the windows start menu even more embarrassing.

The decline of Windows as a user facing product is amazing, especially as they are really good at developing things they care about. The “back of house” guts of Windows has improved alot, for example. They should just have a cartoon Bill Gates pop up like clippy and flip you the bird at this point.

Much worse is that the search function built into the start menu has been broken in different ways in every major release of Windows since XP, including Server builds.

It has both indexing failures and multi-day performance issues for mere kilobytes of text!

The Start menu is React Native, but Outlook is now an Electron app.

React Native, not Electron. Though it is slower than it was

That's even more damning that they can't dogfood their own GUI toolkits for the primary UI of their own OS.

People believing it says something about the start menu
