To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software (sh.itjust.works)

Same here. I don't need icons, just press Win and type in the program. I just gotta pray for Windows to not open Edge and search in Bing.

If you're using Windows, you can get a much better experience by ditching the Microsoft start menu entirely.

Everything Search to index files and Flow Launcher for searching files and applications. You can even make it open when you press the windows key.

Or if you still want a start menu, Start11 is worth paying for to get away from Microsoft's ad-ridden crapware they call the start menu. It even supports using Everything for showing file results.

Flow Launcher seems pretty cool. I'll try it out. Thanks!
