They added a “feature” where to improve the loading time of the start menu (which is already a fucked up thing to need to say) they briefly lift power limits from the cpu when you press start
Lmaoooooo. What if people started pressing start to fix their game fps because that?
The turbo button is back. Awwww yeah!

Great ragebait! for a second I almost thought this was real
Its only the recommended section thats written in react.
We got plenty of real things to clown on Microsoft with. We dont need to make shit up. This is just rage bait.
Ah gotcha. So it’s not strictly correct to call the whole start menu a react application, just a part of it that always loads when you press the start button.
I’m all for being correct, but MS absolutely deserves being clowned on for this.
So let’s clown on them for the 10% spike, let’s not say that its because its 100% react when its not.
In the end, every time you use your start menu you have to load the react crap. At that point, they could have done the whole thing in react with the same ramifications. I am all for correctness, but in real life use the start menu is visibly not working as it should, regardless of the element that is actually causing the issue here.
If we’re thinking of end states, nobody should be using Windows anyway lol KDE would never do this to us.
I agree on that point, although KDE has it’s own issues - currently it complains that my graphics drivers aren’t installed correctly for widgets, while being able to game and use CUDA without any trouble at the same time lol
Edit: anyone having this issue should go into “System Settings” - “Plasma Renderer” and just try to set it back to Vulkan or OpenGL. My issues started with switching from the stable 595 NVidia driver to the 610 beta.
To the user and in function, there’s very little difference between “It’s React” and “It loads a React submodule every time you use it.” The result is the same. Your first response is fair and informational. This one is pedantic.
Thats great, we are not normal users here and I can call that out. No idea what’s up with this encouraged ignorance just because its a Microslop product.
Encouraged ignorance.
Pal… you’re acting pretty ignorant to my comment right now. OP agreed with you, said it was interesting, and said it was worth clowning them. You got petty. You put words in their mouth.
Found the React fanboi 😂
Truth fanboi but k
Of course.
I try not to let such considerations get in the way of posting excellent ragebait.
recommended section
Must be one of those things that I assume the EU is protecting me from.
TL;DR: Microsoft devs are mac users.
Ironically Apple would never allow a first party app to be anything other than Swift. No React allowed.
I lol’d 😂
Is this for real? The guy that coded windows start menu doesn’t consider performance to be relevant to good software?
Also what is react native? Is it the js library adapted to the windows desktop API?
The twitter thread is a fabrication.
The react native shit? all true. True enough that MS made an announcement talking about how they had removed it even. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/
As far as I can tell, react native is a way to make easy cross-compatible gui components in javascript. One of the more stupid things ms has done lately.
Cross compatibility betong one of the things that’s not very necessary in an OS.
that’s fake… right? Please?
Clearly a guy pretending to be the developer 🤣
Yeah but that applies to most of MS’s engineering staff.
Lol 😂 you cracked me up
J’en reviens pas que c’est un québécois qui a implémenté le menu démarrer de Windows 11.
J’haïs le nouveau menu.
Si j’le voué m’en va y donner un char de marde.
un char de marde
Is that 8 bits of marde?
That doesn’t sound like a lot of marde, but probably more marde than I would like to receive on any given day.
“Un char” in Canadian French means “une voiture” (a car).
I for one appreciate people maintaining their unique language and culture.
J’haïs
Now I want Québécois to be the only French language option in Windows 11.
Caliss de menu de chien
While working for a CDN I learned that every press of the Windows 10 Start button involved at least one call to at least one remote hostname to fetch data about the local weather to be shown in the Start menu. I presume machines were caching the response for a while, but realizing that this host was getting poked (and who knows how many others) every time someone clicked that button continues to blow my mind.
PS: 🤘
Be grateful its not written with straight up react wrapped in electron
It saddens me that it isn’t. That would be a lot funnier. Well, as long as you aren’t forced to use it in your life. I use Arch btw
It might as well be. My sister has a better hardware than me and it takes on her Device like half a minute to load the start menu on first try. On my CachyOS it takes idk. I can’t distinguish that well regarding fractions of a second.
I really hope this is real
