Windows 11, Start button menu, make it show all apps by default
The easiest method is to simply press the Windows key and then type in the name of the desired software. Then press return and the desired program will start. It is a little bit more difficult to switch back to Windows 10. But I will definitely do it. DirectX 12 Ultimate is also available on Windows 10, otherwise Windows 11 has nothing that Windows 10 didn't already have (at least no absolutely necessary tools). The easiest way is to choose a Linux distro that has a user interface you like. Then just get to grips with Linux for a few weeks and you'll be much less annoyed afterwards.

OMNIDROID2995Sometimes we don't remember the exact name of the app. Took me ages to remember the name Handbrake instead of "that pineapple app".
For me the easiest method was installing Windhawk with the "Show all apps by default in start menu" Mod. Boom, done. I also use that app to be able to re-arrange taskbar thumbnails (Taskbar Thumbnail Reorder).- markholleyFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor
I know you left this reply a year ago, but I just wanted to thank you for writing this and for introducing me to Windhawk. 😺
