The Windows 11 Start menu has been criticized for its lack of flexibility and customization options since its launch in 2021. Users have expressed frustration with the inability to resize the menu and the mandatory Recommended section. Flow Launcher is an alternative application that enhances efficiency by allowing users to execute tasks using the keyboard, enabling rapid program launching, file searching, and command execution. It functions as a powerful search bar, similar to the Run dialog, with enhanced capabilities, including plug-in support for various commands. Flow Launcher includes built-in extensions for accessing browser bookmarks, executing Windows Terminal commands, and terminating processes, along with a plugin store offering diverse tools. However, it has some shortcomings, such as challenges in searching for specific features and occasional issues with launching certain applications.
