Good luck on waiting for customer service to re-activate it for you.Īnother bad thing about the above Start Menu apps is that they require a service on startup to function.Ī) It is like ripping the Start Menu directly from Windows 7 and throwing it onto Windows 8! It's the exact same Start Menu.ī) It has the easiest and most simplistic options to easily change the settings like what you want to appear on your start menu, control task bar and start menu transparency, etc. Start8: Is good, BUT, for someone like me who formats and reinstalls a lot testing new drivers, software, etc, it's horrible because if you activate it a few times, even if it's on the same PC with the same computer name, specs, OS, etc, your license will be blacklisted within 3 or 5 times. Issue with Startisback++ with multiple monitors, different text size setting.

StartIsBack is the best Start Menu alternative app for Windows 8/8.1 hands down! I've tried them allĬlassic Shell: It's good, but very basic and finding the options that I want is way too difficult and it seemed to cluttered.
