Works perfectly for me. Something is wrong with your installation.
I love it on my computers that don't have much on them. If you have a lot of games and programs installed it's a different story.
Run Windows PowerShell enter the command Get-StartApps | measure
if the number is greater than 512, your Start menu will be broken and unusable. Microsoft has been saying their working on it since release.

+10000 for ClassicShell.ClassicShell does the trick, Win 10's menu doesn't keep shortcuts I want on the menu, it just shows most frequently used programs and changes a lot and I'm not a fan of the tiles. Also if you want to edit the program's shortcut properties in Win 10's menu you have to launch it first then right click the launched icon and right click the icon inside the launched icon's menu whereas you right click in ClassicShell and pick properties, it's just a few of the nicks that bugs me about Win 10's menu (especially annoying when doing it on a tablet).
Yep, that's probably it. 612...
I don't think most people would actually put 612 shortcuts on their Start Menu/Desktop etc.
Oh man do you remember what it was a like a couple years ago when 8 was introduced. I swear you and me were the only ones that gave it a chance.I don't think most people would actually put 612 shortcuts on their Start Menu/Desktop etc.
I'm a gamer myself and prefer a cleaner looking desktop anyway, so my desktop is clean even on Win10, but what I do for any Steam, Origin games is you can just right click on the Steam/Origin icon in taskbar for games or to bring your games list up.
Favourites I list in Start menu tiles from A to Z, yes could be a pain if you have way too many games, but even in Win7 would not be a perfect solution or fix for that.
Linux has the best Start menus and wipes the floor with Win7 or any Windows OS you care to name, too bad gaming is not its strong point.
End of the day I can play and use all my games (quite a few installed)just fine with Win10 so don't see it as a "mountain" that some users try to make it into.
I use Linux as well, have done so for many years.
One thing I've learned over the decades, some users will always bitch about something even on simple Windows, some things never change.

The blow back was ten times harsher than what Win10 is getting now.
The main bitching back then was lack of Start button menu, now they got one in Win10 and they are still moaning, lol some things don't change with some people.
I've my front seat booked for the next chapter of complaints in the next OS .
Classic Shell seems to do the trick. I installed 10 tonight and within 2 hours my head was ready to fall off with the start menu.
Not only was it a complete mess but adding folders and shortcuts into the directories as many of the online guides say achieved nothing. I would create a folder but it would just not appear.
This maybe fine for the average Joe but not being able to organise your own start menu is a joke.

Do people resist change to that degree? Wow. How's programming your VCR working out for you ?
MS should just concede to users and restore the windows 7 menu system to their os's and be done with it. When I first looked at the 10 start menu it was much better than the one in 8/8.1 but still wasn't enough and required classic shell to regain the function I am looking for.
That's how 7 and 8/8.1 worked for me 10 is more like
1. Press Start keyboard key. 2. Type first x letters of desired app. 3. wait until "search my stuff" appears. 4. Press Enter keyboard key. 5. Browse file explorer for the .exe
Yeah, start-menu search is not as reliable in Windows 10 as it was in 7 (never used 8.x). Sometimes it just stops working for x number of hours/days (not regular search, just the start menu search). Haven't really found a way to get it to work again other than just waiting and hoping.
