StartIsBack returns Windows 8 a real fully featured start menu and start
button, behaving exactly like the ones in Windows 7. StartIsBack
radically improves desktop usability and makes new Start screen
clutter-free. StartIsBack is fully native lightweight zero-privileges
program, cheap and fair, fast, stable and secure.
Your session would start with the desktop. Always. Unlike other
solutions, StartIsBack goes directly to desktop every time without
flashing Start Screen even for a millisecond.
StartIsBack restores original Windows 7 start menu with all its
features: search, drag&drop, pinned and recently used apps, fully
customizable settings. Start button and Start menu look and behave
exactly as they used to in
Windows 7.
Windows 7.
StartIsBack is the only tool which is able to provide consistency in
Windows 8 by separating desktop and modern programs. Real work is done
on desktop while new Start screen turns into launcher for modern apps
only.
Windows 8 forces you to organize new Start screen which can quickly
become a long list of mess with automatically pinned programs. This is
no longer the case with StartIsBack. If you turn Start screen into Apps
screen, you won't have the pain to manage two Start places.
StartIsBack does not run any additional services or programs. It
integrates into your computer smoothly. It does not require any other
tools or frameworks to install and can be installed without
administrative privileges. Start menu is fully localized into your
language with same metrics and names Windows 7 had.
StartIsBack allows you to configure many aspects of appearance and
behavior of Start menu and Modern UI elements. This is done in most
reliable way, within attractive and easy configuration UI.
