Change can be difficult to adjust to, especially when something has become routine for so many years. When Microsoft transitioned to Windows 8 years ago, users were outspoken about the removal of the traditional Windows Start menu. Windows 10 now, likewise, appears to not have any kind of Start menu and the folks at Stardock (the name behind games like Galactic Civilizations and Sorcerer King) have had just as much trouble adjusting. That's why they've done something about it by creating a tool called Start10.
Start10 brings back the key functions of the old Start menu, offering search, quick links, and the familiar layout of the classic Windows 7-style menu. Its a premium program, but Stardock is offering a free 30-day trial for anyone that wants to try it out first. The full Star10 program runs for $4.99.
For those looking for a free alternative, there's also the old Classic Shell that helped Windows 8 users through the original Start menu-less dystopia. The makers of this program have recently upgraded their program to version 4.2.4, officially adding Windows 10 support. There is no charge for Classic Shell, but the creators appreciate any and all donations.
Regardless, these look to be the most reliable options for PC gamers seeking to bring back their old Start menu. Any other suggestions? Join the conversation and let us know. Now back to your regularly-scheduled PC gaming.
