How to Get the Classic Windows Start Menu
How to get the Classic Windows Start Menu
A lot of people like the old style Start menu from Windows 7. It is easy to customize and offers a familiar two-column layout. It also displays familiar locations and features of Windows, such as Documents, Pictures, Music, Control Panel, Run command, etc.
But Windows 10 brings a new look and feel to the start menu. It doesn't have the Live Tiles that Windows 7 used to have, but it does have a similar user interface.
There are a few ways to restore the old Start menu on Windows 10. One is to install a software called Start 11, which does a great job at getting you back to the old start screen, although it isn't completely free.
Another option is to use a program called Classic Shell, which is free and works well. It consists of a number of tweaks to Windows and doesn't require any special administration rights.
There are a lot of settings that you can tweak with Classic Shell, including how to launch programs, hide icons on the menu, show the search box and so much more. You can even change the appearance of the Start button to a day or night mode. To do this, go to the Start tab and click on settings. Select a skin type or theme and set the items that you want to display on the menu. You can also customize the taskbar opacity, look and color.
