One of the most controversial changes to the Windows 8 interface is the disappearance of the Start menu. Dozens of developers, fortunately, offer their own answers to the question of how to return the Start button in Windows 8. Today we’ll talk about programs that allow this to be done.
From scratch
The concept of the Windows 8 OS interface went against everything that users of Windows versions are used to, starting from "95" to "7". The “tiled” interface found supporters, but there are also those who are ambiguous about the “improvements”. Time will pass, and some users will undoubtedly put up with the unusual movements of the cursor to turn off the computer.

Perhaps it is. There are probably several advantages to missing the Start button. However, currently there is quite a great demand for various programs for resuscitation of the traditional system interface. Therefore, we turn to a direct discussion of software products.
Power 8 Program
First, we’ll look at how to return the “Start” button with “Power 8” in Windows 8.
After installing the program, the Start button will immediately appear in the corner of the display. However, in appearance it is slightly different from the usual one: in size, the new button is similar to the button for minimizing open windows, which is located in the lower right corner of the taskbar.""
