StartIsBack++ 2.9.11

StartIsBack++

StartIsBack++ restores original Windows 10 start menu with all its features: search, pinned and recently used apps, fully customizable settings. Start button and Start menu look and behave exactly as they used to in Windows 7.

StartIsBack is lightweight and secure: it does not require administrator rights to install, consumes minimal amount of system resources, does not run additional processes or services.

What's hot about StartIsBack on Windows 10 now:

  • Live badges for modern apps on taskbar and Start menu!
  • Ability to reduce resource usage by disabling newer Start menu and Cortana processes from prelaunching
  • Ability to use adequately sized (32x32) large icons and larger start menu button on taskbar
  • Modern icon glyphs on Start menu right hand pane
  • Modern blur, drop shadow and immersive context menus for start menu
  • Fully dynamic DPI aware start menu and configuration app
  • New modern style with round user picture
  • Lots of new minor additions and tweaks

Changes in StartIsBack++ 2.9.11:

  • Support for KB5001396 (1909) / KB5001391 (2004, 20H2, 21H1). This upcoming Windows update (currently Insider only) may cause older StartIsBack versions to crash.
