I also got it in 2.

Neither did I until I bragged about having 4 words that used 20 letters.

Just realised that.. in Windows 11 task bar..
- the widget menu button has a top text box for searching
- the start button has a top text box for searching
- the hourglass button has a top text box for searching
- edge also use its op text box for searching
So much search... but still not finding myself!

So you cured me of my schizophrenia, but where am I, now that I need me?

Listen to the voices! They show the way! 
|
|
|
|
|
You're just jealous cause the voices don't want to talk to you.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

And a lot of users do not realize simply hitting the windows key and start typing is enough to find programs. I have seen even system administrators clicking those buttons. But to be fair, it is still a new feature - introduced with Vista 14 years ago, so give it another decade or two.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes… when they destroyed the “navigate to find features/applications” philosophy.
Now you have to know what you want and type it in to find it.
If you do not know a feature exists, you will never stumble across it! Bring back Program Manager!!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that was a fantastic piece of software (!)
|
|
|
|
|
And to be fair, relying on a key with an unpronouncable icon on it (I did not know it was called a "Windows key" until you mentioned it and I had to Google what that was), is not used on any other operating system, and is not even on all keyboards (one of my keyboards dates from 2001, and doesn't even have that key on it (it came from an SGI workstation), is not exactly going to be discoverable.
Thank god they've given up on the notion of hitting that key to bring up the start menu (Windows 8 fiasco, remember that?).

Mac have a similar key. Linux support it as well but it is (of course) configurable what it does.
It is OK for me they do not optimize the user interface for 20+ year old keyboards.
And yes, it could be a tad more discoverable - for example show the search box already having the blinking carrot showing it is ready to accept input. Maybe they had that in Vista where it was introduced, I do not remember anymore.
On Vista it was "oh how to I find anything in this crappy start menu" for a while until I realized how efficient it was just to type. Sure once or twice a year I am slowed down because I can't remember what to search for, but that is so infrequent it's fine with me.
Windows 8 to 11 has not changed anything here except visuals, so I do not notice any fiasco. Sure heard about it but never was affected by it.
