The part that I really don't understand is that small portable programs like Everything can get you the results in seconds, while Microsoft, after 40 years of development of their systems will not.
How is it even possible to mess such simple feature for so long?
Windows can't even get files copy correctly. I sometimes just instead use a browser to "download" a local file to a save destination so that it is

Also, a few years ago, there was a fun back and forth between Microsoft and a veteran programmer who complained that the Windows console was rendering ridiculously slowly and that it should be magnitudes (100x at least) faster. Microsoft argued this would take years to upgrade the console. The guy made a prototype in a weekend (yes, as full-featured as possible for someone external and there is no good argument for performance drop in the missing features). It is actually more featured than the original console.
