That seems to be a strange problem, although it is possible for Windows to turn a PC on after it's completely powered off. Good luck on waiting for customer service to re-activate it for you.Īnother bad thing about the above Start Menu apps is that they require a service on startup to function.Ī) It is like ripping the Start Menu directly from Windows 7 and throwing it onto Windows 8! It's the exact same Start Menu.ī) It has the easiest and most simplistic options to easily change the settings like what you want to appear on your start menu, control task bar and start menu transparency, etc.Ĭ) It requires no service on startup to work, it integrates itself into the shellĭ) you can re-activate it as many times as you like as long as it's on the same PC with no limitsĮ) it costs cheaper than any other Start Menu alternative app out there $3 USD for a single user license Start8: Is good, BUT, for someone like me who formats and reinstalls a lot testing new drivers, software, etc, it's horrible because if you activate it a few times, even if it's on the same PC with the same computer name, specs, OS, etc, your license will be blacklisted within 3 or 5 times.

StartIsBack is the best Start Menu alternative app for Windows 8/8.1 hands down! I've tried them allĬlassic Shell: It's good, but very basic and finding the options that I want is way too difficult and it seemed to cluttered. I would like to have the familiar start screen but don't want to have the only way I can turn off the machine be to hold down the power button.īeen using StartIsBack since it was released and never had an issue with it!

I am about to download the McAfee StartIsBack uninstaller and dump the software but thought I would ask here if anyone has encountered this strange problem. I have uninstalled, downloaded the software again from the home site and reinstalled with identically the same results. So far as I can tell there is no way to actually turn off the computer from the Start menu. I have verified that the Restart and Sleep buttons initiate the appropriate actions. If I right click on the Turn Off Computer button a menu box opens with five items: Switch User, Sign out, Lock, Restart and Sleep. I've done this several times so am sure this is consistently happening. If I click on it with the left mouse button as I did in Windows XP to open the Turn Off Computer box the machine goes through a restart. There is a Turn Off Computer button in the lower right hand corner as expected.

I like having the familar Start menu again - but have a serious problem with it.

I installed StartIsBack 1.7 30 day trial on a new build Windows 8.1 machine.
