> Why is it animated? Or, even if it is, why is animation so slow?

Given it is not animated on my computer, I suspect it is animated when Windows is configured to have animations...

(and it if this theory is good, it is nice that they respect the disabling of animations, by the way, in contrast with the... Start Menu!)




> by the way, in contrast with the... Start Menu!

Well, good news! I don't know when this might've changed (I have animations enabled), but I just tested it on Windows 10 2004, and the start menu doesn't animate with animations off.


Yes, if you disable animations in Settings, the menu doesn't animate[1].
