What is StartW8?
StartW8 is a FREE but powerful tool for Windows 8 users. Do you prefer desktop to modernUI? Would you like to logon directly to desktop? And than use "Start" menu for runnig your apps? Then it's right for you.
"Start" menu had been an essential feature of Microsoft Windows for almost two decades, used by countless users all over the world. But Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are shipped without it.
Just like you, we refused to accept this situation, which is why we decided to make "Start" menu of our own. We put it back to Windows and we even added a few new features. We called it StartW8 and now you can use it too. It's free, quick & easy
Said about StartW8 as an alternative
Small, simple and easy to config.
Comments and Reviews
Visually nice thing, but has few problems.
Serious.
No context menus. I.e. you can't quickly open Computer - Manage or pin an app to start menu or to taskbar, rename, move something out to desktop, or even move something in.
No pinned apps
Small.
