Partial A Start menu replacement's UI and settings can be vibe-coded, but the core is a native Windows shell extension that hooks into taskbar and Explorer internals. That requires deep Win32/COM expertise and ongoing maintenance against Windows updates.
What it would actually take: The UI and configuration layer can be built with AI assistance, but the hard part is native Windows shell integration (taskbar, Start, and Explorer hooks) in C++ or C#. That demands Win32/COM knowledge and testing across Windows builds to stay stable after OS updates.
