Publisher's Description
From Advanced PC Media:
Tweaks.com Start for Windows 8 brings back the classic Start Button while preserving the modern Start Screen. Configurable to show different Start Button icons and Start Menu views on launch, the super lightweight utility consumes no memory or CPU while not in use. Additionally, common functions that were inconveniently buried in Windows 8 such as shutting down your PC and getting to network connection settings can be found by right clicking on the icon.
What's new in this version: Ability to change the Start Button icon.

"Simple and does not waste resources"
Version: Tweaks.com Start for Windows 8 1.1
Pros
I wanted a start button but keep the new start screen. It does that and its free.
Cons
none, it meets my needs.

"This does not work as described At All"
Version: Tweaks.com Start for Windows 8 1.1
Pros
Hope that it will bring the start menu back.... Wrong.
Cons
-There is no Start Menu
-There is no choice of icons
-All it does is take you to the Start Screen
-In 'configure', there is nothing to configureSummary
It does not do what it claims. I wouldn't be surprised if it has some kind of malware in it. Avoid like the plague.
I checked for malware/Trojans etc... before it was uninstalled and it was clear.

My Review still stands: It is utter crap. Get 'Start8' - I have it on trial and it truly is as good as everyone say's. $4.99 will be more than worth the money. Just don't bother with this particular software.
