StartFinity

Description

The classical Start menu has been missed by many users who were introduced to the Start screen of Windows 8. Fortunately, Microsoft rectified this apparent mistake by bringing back the Start menu to Windows 10, after a makeover.

Whether you're running Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 and miss Windows 7, you can install StartFinity to use a Start menu with a pretty close appearance look to Windows 7, thanks to Aero effect. It provides access to programs and features in the traditional list mode.

The app immediately replaces the default Start menu or screen after installation. The start screen can still be accessed from the top side of the menu. Shortcuts are also provided for documents, pictures, music, downloads, recent items, Control Panel, Devices and Printers, search, and run.

There's also a search box on the bottom side but it doesn't work as expected. As far as we can tell, it works just like the Run command. The feature list of StartFinity doesn't end here, though, since it has numerous customization preferences under its hood.
