That's nothing. He have Surface Pro laptops, and of course it has Copilot built in. I tried to open an app by typing in a search. On versions without Copilot turned on, instantly finds the app. On a Surface Pro, takes a good 20-30 seconds for it even start the search.

Complete rubbish. Not a single person in the organisation likes the new Outlook.

The amount of applications on the average consumer's laptop is such a tiny space to search over that there really is no excuse for this being anything other than instant.

iOS and macOS suffer this too, it's like I open search and the operating system awakes from a hangover and makes sure it's wearing pants first

Load Everything and it'll instantly show you every file on your computer. Finding a file is instantaneous.

There's no reason finding an installed app should be anything slower than that
