I know it should be the default, but if you turn off online searches for the Start Menu, it operates exactly how you'd expect it to on Windows 11.
replyWindows 11 is also a lot faster than 7 was on equivalent systems. Windows 7 would take minutes to boot.
Win11 is dog slow. Even on ssds. Maybe it is linked to the insane number of svchost.exe instances and telemetry processes. Try running Win 11 on a SMR spinning disk.

replyWindows 7 never took minutes to boot on a reasonable computer.

replyCitation needed. I went from Win7 on a i5-2500k that booted in sub 15 seconds on a SATA SSD to Win10 on a 5600x that takes 45 seconds to a minute to boot an NVME drive.
Windows 7 on my 15 year old GNU/Linux computer in a VM boots faster than both Windows 10 and Windows XP also in a VM.
