Yeah I only use windows at work now, ditched it at home. The start menu takes over a minute to open, and then when it does it ignores clicks for another minute.
Then whenever I want to run outlook I have to search because the start menu doesnt let me set favourites. And I have to wait when I type in Outlook because the first search brings the crappy built in version of outlook (which I have clicked on more than once to be immensely frustrated to see it open) and then wait until "Outlook (classic)" appears and click that.
I discovered some of my less technically able colleagues gave up on Outlook because they assumed it wasn't installed and use the web interface instead. And that is just one of numerous daily frustrations I get with Windows.
Honestly, Windows is now a big steaming pile of crap. All my home devices are on Linux, and I only use Windows at work because I have no choice.
