14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft indeed brought back the Start menu in Windows 10, but third-party Start menu apps live on and still experience unexpected success, which is living proof that users still want a more familiar approach, similar to that in Windows 7.
StartIsBack is one of the third-party apps that can bring back the Start menu with the traditional look integrated into Windows 7, along with a more familiar layout that simply makes sense for those who don’t want to spend too much time getting used to the version.
The application not only looks very similar to the Windows 7 Start menu but it also comes with an impressive amount of customization setting, so you can choose everything from colors to the look of the Start button and the OS menus being displayed to the user.
Today’s update, which pushes StartIsBack to version 1.0.4, brings improvements that are specifically aimed at Windows 10, and the app now seems faster especially at the first start.
Most users configure StartIsBack to run at system boot, so optimizing performance is clearly very important. This new version indeed brings some enhancements in this regard, as well as general stability and reliability optimizations.
The app seems to work flawlessly on the latest preview builds too, so go ahead and download StartIsBack to get back the familiar Start menu in Windows 10.
