This vital piece of kit for the Microsoft empire has been sadly vacant from Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Many a PC gamer has glanced forlornly down at to the bottom-left of their button, carelessly clicking and expecting a treasure trove of programs and features. It’s coming back soon though, as Microsoft looks to brush the world’s Windows 8 problems under its luxurious corporate carpet…
The Start menu will be coming back in a major update to Windows 8.1, with Microsoft claiming that it will look very similar to the one used in Windows 7, but this time with a small tiled interfaced attached to the side. It’s a small concession to Windows 8’s panel-based roots, and looking at the first screens it appears to work well.
Of course there’s many users out there who’ve already customised Windows 8.1themselves and added the Start menu, but for the average user this should come as a welcome change.
Users will reportedly be able to find and run their Windows applications all within the new Start Menu, thanks to the new hybridised system. For those of you who are feeling a bit progressive, the option will still be there to keep the full-screen Start menu which I'm guessing a few Windows 8 users have come to know and love.
