The Win8 Start menu is only a feature that is integrated under this WIN8 optimization guru. In these Win8 Start menu, WIN8 Optimization Master's interface effect is the most beautiful one, using the Win8 interface of the square style, and its Start menu also has a transparent effect. The most commendable is that this Start menu button uses the WIN8 system of the latest logo, indeed closely follow the times.

After the author opened several consecutive files and programs, unfortunately, in this Start menu, also did not show the most recent list of files (I open too little?) run over 4, 5 programs, and a few files, should be able to display to the Start menu Ah? It's still empty!)

Similar to the WIN8 Start menu for the Super Bunny, Win8 optimization Master of this Start menu, also contains almost all the commonly used menus, and provides "All Programs" and "return" of the switch, although there is a search box, but still can not be the same as the display, can not be compared with the search in the Win7.

Win8 Optimization Master of the Start menu, the shutdown, restart, sleep and other functions of the button did a redesign, all show up, more intuitive.

▲ "All Programs" in the Start menu

Above, in "All Programs", some of the program's icon does not appear, should be a bug.

▲START8 Start Menu

If you think that, then you are wrong!

Although it is also the Start menu, but Start8 obviously with several domestic modification tools is not the same, several domestic Start menu, looks more like the Start menu. and START8 is not! It only adds a button to the lower left corner, and the button opens the Win8 all the programs. It's about the same as the win key, but it changes a little bit.

So, since the win 8 has arrived, why do we have to return? Why can't we accept new things?

▲START8 settings

Right-click on the Start8 button, where you can set the effect of starting the desktop display, and the run and shutdown buttons. This program cannot be exited after installation and can only be uninstalled and ended. Fortunately, you can still use the win key.

How do you feel after you've experienced several Win8 start menus?

They just made a simple little program!

But what do you think are their pros and cons?

Advantages: Can temporarily retrieve the feeling of the Start menu, not installed after the WIN8, where you can find the shutdown, restart and Control Panel, do you lack these functions? or just to familiarize yourself with the mouse to move to the bottom left corner of the feeling?

Disadvantage: Since the Microsoft design is to give up the Start menu, then the Win8 era should not appear these modification tools!

Let's go back and look at these so-called Win8 start menus:

1, the production of simple, interface design and the system is not integrated, or even to promote their own product Start menu?!

2. What about the "lock programs to Taskbar" feature, and Jump Lists, and smart search, do they still exist?

▲ many "Win8 Start menu" does not have these features

3, with this "Start Menu", you have lost the Win8 of the Metro interface fast switching function, do you want to Win8 the interface completely into the era of Win XP? So do we have to upgrade to the Win8? Why don't you just keep using XP or is it win7!

Win8 release time is not long, I do not dare to assert that Win8 must be the best and most suitable operating system, maybe she is because there is no start menu and people abandoned, the last cry can only be Microsoft. Perhaps by that day, Microsoft will regret the cancellation of the Start menu, bitterly. But since the installation, then we should try to accept, to like, at least a positive view of the development of the Times.

So, "I understand, I won't install these so-called Win8 Start menu, but how can I quickly find what I need?" For example, I can not find the Shutdown button now, can not find the operation, there are many of my functions ...

In fact, Win8 not so stupid, everything is a habit, when the habit, is not also handy? Now, on the WIN8 desktop or the beginning, click Win + x to try this button?

▲ This menu also meets most of your needs

"Maybe I'm still not used to pressing shortcut keys, even I still can't remember, can use the mouse?" Of course!

Although the Windows 8 system is more suitable for touch screens, tablets and no Start menu, it does not discard the mouse. If you want to familiarize yourself with WIN8 as soon as possible, you might as well move your mouse around, especially in the upper left corner, the lower left corner, the top border, the right, the lower right corner, and click the left and right mouse button on the displayed icon. Believe you will find more, those quick ways have never left you, just to find that they need to be more familiar!

Come on! Windows 8! Goodbye, Start Menu!
