Enhance: Bring back missing features from previous versions of Windows like moving the taskbar to the top of your display or the Windows 10-style taskbar context menu.Choose from several styles such as Windows 7, Windows 10, or a modern adaptation of these classic menus that feels fresh and familiar.
Familiar: Replace the Start menu with a classic version.The new start menu in Windows 11 has a very app-focused layout, and Start11 helps users with a familiar Windows 7-style layout and also offers additional customization with just a few mouse clicks. It brings a more familiar look and feels to the Windows 11 start menu.
Start8 can bring that back.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Start8 1.45.The first Windows 11 Start menu alternative. No one resents the efforts of Microsoft to create a more effective, powerful operating system, but many people miss the ease of navigation that has been present through so many previous versions of the OS. Bottom LineĪt the end of the day, if you miss the look and feel of Windows 7, then Start8 is for you. However it is well worth experimenting with it throughout the trial period to see if it is worth the cost. ConsĬost: The only real drawback is that the app is only free for 30 days after you install it. It is nice that there remains a button right at the top of the menu to access the Windows 8 menu if for some reason you want to navigate through that interface as well. Nothing was missing from the menus that should have been there, and everything opened and navigated perfectly. Integration: As far as testing could determine, this app works perfectly. This includes making it work essentially like a replica of the old Windows 7 Start button, which is a real blessing for some people. You can decide how you want it to look, what you want to be displayed in it, and how you want it to behave. ProsĬustomization options: You can determine exactly how you want your new Start button to work with Start8.
In Windows 8, Microsoft did away with that feature to implement the tiled Metro interface across Windows 8 operating systems - both mobile and desktop. Start8 restores the Windows Start menu to your Windows desktop and adds a variety of customization settings to extend its capabilities beyond what previous Start menus were capable of.
