Start screen with live tiles is awesome. But I have been missing the Start Menu when I am on the desktop. There are &lt;a class="link" href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1112841701/microsoft-bringing-back-the-start-button-for-windows-8-050913/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;plenty&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a class="link" href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/07/after-bumpy-start-microsoft-rethinks-windows-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;rumours&lt;/a&gt; that Microsoft will bring back the Start Menu in the next version of Windows - &lt;a class="link" href="http://www.zdnet.com/microsofts-windows-8-plan-blue-bring-back-the-start-button-boot-to-desktop-7000014075/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;Windows Blue&lt;/a&gt;. Until then, you can use one of many third party utilities for that functionality - &lt;a class="link" href="http://www.classicshell.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;ClassicShell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="link" href="http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;Start8&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="link" href="https://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;Pokki&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I started using &lt;a class="link" href="https://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;Pokki&lt;/a&gt;. And I love it. It feels like my world is whole again. Pokki is &lt;a class="link" href="https://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&#10; &gt;free&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="link" href="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/Pokki-Screenshot.png" &gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px), (max-width: 1023px) 700px, (max-width: 1279px) 950px, 1232px" src="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/Pokki-Screenshot.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;If you want to do what I did, after installing it, open settings&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="link" href="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/pokki-settings-button.png" &gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px), (max-width: 1023px) 700px, (max-width: 1279px) 950px, 1232px" src="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/pokki-settings-button.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;and make these changes:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="link" href="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/pokki-my-settings.png" &gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px), (max-width: 1023px) 700px, (max-width: 1279px) 950px, 1232px" src="https://www.tewari.info/wp-content/pokki-my-settings.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;</description></item></channel></rss>
