PowerToys Run: extensible quick launcher for power users
If you couple those two, you have a launcher that is able to find all files on your drive very fast (and launch applications of course).

Fluent Search
Run has plugins. I use https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys to add Everything.
- Fluent search vs Flow launcher , which one do you prefer ? these are the best Windows launchers
- Search works great, doesn't it?

No Start Menu for You
PowerToys Run does seem to support some plug-ins though. I happily use https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys to use Everything for bettler local search for example.

Upgraded to Windows 11 in hopes of a better search function. Am I doing something wrong? I look for "do" knowing I have a file on my pc called "do.txt" and the BEST MATCH is "Steam"? I'd bet I have opened the do.txt more than Steam by now too!

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
I'm using Win10 Pro, and I have no ads, no problems with unwanted apps, a sane start menu, and I run almost all non-ms software on top so microsoft's incompetence there is a nonissue. I can also replicate this on win11 but I don't see a reason to upgrade.
The way there is fairly simple, actually:
OOSU Shutup10: this removes pretty much all the annoyances. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Classicshell: Microsoft is never going to make a start menu that doesn't suck again, but others will. http://www.classicshell.net/
Everything search: classicshell comes with a pretty decent windows search replacement, but you should use this instead. It is so, so fast. https://www.voidtools.com/
- Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron

How can I make Windows 10 look EXACTLY like windows 7 (literally 1 to 1)? If there isnt a way, how can I run modern programs designed for windows 10 in windows 7 (I refer something that can help you run modern things in windows 7)
Check http://www.classicshell.net/ I'm using that since Windows 8.1 till now in Win 10, still works pertfectly even on low end laptops!

I've managed to get Windows XP running on my modern pc, and I've soon realized there are no drivers for it 😀😑
There are third party apps for doing so: http://www.classicshell.net/ http://www.classicstartmenu.com/

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Let me tell you a secret. There's something called Classic Shell, and you can reskin your GUI of your task bar and start menu to fit your preference. It keeps me sane.

best start menu?
I've been using this since I switched to windows 10.http://www.classicshell.net it actually shows what you have on your drives instead of bing searches XD
- The time has come, and it’s worse than I imagined.

Apple Unveils MacBook Pro Featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
IMO, Windows is just fine with Classic Shell. I don't know how people get by without it since Windows 8.

What are some alternatives?
