Microsoft has been trying to migrate Windows development to a managed language for over 20 years; their first attempt at this was a complete disaster and NT 6.0 (Vista) would ultimately be developed the old way.
It's only really been in the last 5-7 years, with Windows 10 and 11, that MS has managed to get their wish as far as UI elements go, which is why the taskbar doesn't react immediately when you click on it any more and has weird bugs that it didn't have before.
