Review the "Menu Tree" from win 11 and win 95.

I could use like 3-4 keyboard navigation items and have my app open in win95. In win11 I must use my mouse and it is slow as balls and I have a ryzen 7 + GTX2080ti this isn't entry level hardware.

If the start menu was still as usable as it was then I agree I an many others would have no reason to complain but it isn't and the "better" alternative is only better about 50% of the time so in general what I end up doing is pinning everything to the task bar or putting it on the desktop and try my best to just do the rest in the terminal.
