The Start screen is one of the most criticized features in Windows 8. The harsh reviews as well as the outright rejection by users have forced Microsoft to consider developing the Start screen as a desktop. background and bring back the classic Start menu. But this release is not expected until the next major Windows update, and no one knows when that will be. So until then, let’s see how third-party apps can help us forget all about the Start screen.
First image for Microsoft’s upcoming Start menu revival.
Classic case
Classic shell is an all-in-one application that enhances Windows native features like Explorer, IE, and the Start Menu. We’ll be using it to bring back Windows 7 (and even the classic XP-style menu) in Windows 8.1.
Step 1: Download the app.
Step 2: Start with the normal process. Fight Next until you see the screen below.
Step 3: Now, from here click on classic explorer And Classic IE options and choose X marked, it will ignore the features that we do not need to install the Start Menu.
Step 4: The rest of the process is very simple that anyone can follow without any instructions. Exit the wizard once the installation is complete.
Classic Shell Setup
One simple command – press Windows key – and the Classic Shell startup guide will appear. From here, choose the type of menu you want – Classic, Classic with two columns, or Windows 7 style.

With Classic shell, you can get as close as possible to the Start menu. It manages to copy point-by-point the functionality of the Windows 7 Start menu. At the Build 2014 conference, Microsoft announced that it was bringing the classic Start menu that integrates tiles directly back into Windows. at some point, but as I mentioned earlier, they haven’t released any ETA.
Classic shell feature

- The full power management menu is back, including hibernation, Restart, Sleep And Turn off.
- You can Shift + Click Begin to go to the Windows 8.1-style Start menu.
- Right clicking on an item brings up the default menu with options like delete, properties, etc
- The app also brings a directory-based browser of apps installed on your PC to keep everything organized.
- There’s also support for third-party skins if you’re looking for options for customization.
Substitute – Spencer
Spencer is a lightweight utility that mimics the Windows XP Start menu in a single column. All your apps are listed in vertical order, even system preferences and power management.
After downloading Spencer, extract it to a location you can remember. Now go to the folder, right click and select Pin to taskbar. That’s it. Spencer is now up and running as your Start menu replacement.
This app doesn’t have many features, and since it shows all apps in a list format, it won’t be of much use if you have multiple apps installed. That said, it’s very fast to use.
