StartisBack is a tiny application that gives you the possibility of assigning the classical Startbutton and Startmenu to Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. It packs a new confifuration settings that can be handled by users of any level of experiences.



Unlike other simular apps which return the old Startmenu and Button, the side menu of StartisBack is transparant ansd highlights every new program in the list.



When it comes to functionality, StartisBack integrates some useful features. For example: if you search the computer for a new item, this is instandly shown in the results area (if it was previously indexed by Windows).



As we have mentioned before, StartisBack comes with a multitude of configuration settings: these concern the Startmenu items and behavior (e.g. display My Computer as a link, hide Default Programs and Device and Printers), appearance (e.g. disable taskbar translucency, hide the Startbutton) and switching rules (e.g. show the Desktop when logging onto the PC, switch to the last used application when clicking the Startscreen).



Other options refer to uncluttering items in the Startscreen (by remaining the Startscreen to “Apps” and by keeping only the modern apps in that location), the advanced system commands menu (combine the Startbutton context menu with the one of the Startscreen) and Windows tweaks (e.g. store and display opened recently programs). Furthermore, you can disable StartisBack for the current user.



StartisBack does not put a strain on the computers overall performance, as it uses a pretty low amount of CPU and system memory. It is pretty responsive to key strokes and mouse commands. I have not encountered any issues throughout my testing: StartisBack did not hang, crash or display error dialogs. Thanks to it’s intuitive yet rich features, the application should please users of all skill levels.



Changes in 1.2.1 for Windows 10:
