Possible to configure Start10 to make start menu look like Wndows 10 proir to Anniversary Update???

July 26, 2016 8:20:16 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I am curious if there is a way to have Start10 look like the Windows 10 start menu prior to the Anniversary update that is being released in the next week -- basically, I'd like to get rid of the srcollable list of applications and bring the ultra tiny settings/power/user back to a decent size

I have removed your personal information (as it's not a great practice on teh internet).

I've also refunded the Start8

There currently doesn't seem to be any way in Start10 to make the Windows 10 start menu look like it did before the Anniversary Update (without having the cluttered and annoying All Programs visible on the left hand side).  I hope Start10 can implement an option to switch it back.  I know many people would love to have that option...

thats because start10 menu itself isnt skinnable when you convert start10 to windows 10 look your just allowing the native start menu to show.

 

i swore this was talked about before how certain things cant be skinned.this is also why action center hasnt been skinned yet

At the moment there are no plans to offer a Win10.0 (Classic) menu.

As long time user of Object Desktop I strongly support idea of implementing Win10.0 (Classic). Win 10 Start menu from Anniversary Update are extremely annoying. If you know that Microsoft can reverse this idiotic decision with some patch (why not letting users decide wht they want and like) let us know or pls implement Win10.0 (Classic). STRONG SUPPORT !

Isn't it funny that, as hated as the Win10(Classic) start menu was, people either like it or grew used to it?

I hope y'all reconsider. I ended up coming here today because one of the screenshots on the Start10 store page shows the Classic Windows 10 menu, and I was disappointed to find out after downloading the trial that that screenshot was just outdated and it wasn't possible to restore the Classic start menu with Start10.

If the Classic menu or a menu that combines the functionality of the Modern Style menu with access to live tiles were to be made an option in Start10, it'd be an instant purchase for me. Heck, I'd gladly pay significantly more than you're asking for the software now to be able to get back the menu functionality lost in Microsoft's anniversary update.

I just bought Start10 BECAUSE I wanted to have the Win10 Classic look as shown on the Stardock website. Please implement this style as soon as possible. The cluttered mess of the Anniversary start menu is unbearable!

Thank you!

Count this another "vote" to having this be introduced as an option.

 

Not upset over it not being in there currently, but it should be something in the future. In all honesty, only reason I bought Start10 was due to the screenshots which made it look like it an option available, so you guys might want to change them out as it definitely is misleading.

I also want Windows 10 original Start menu.  What was MSFT thinking when they messed Start up with a forced full app listing?!

Another vote for Win 10 Classic. If it's possible. But doing Miracles on Windows (even OS/2) is what you people do!

I want it too, the only good thing about 10 is the 'classic' start menu, without it might as well go back to 7

Just wanted to bump this because a Microsoft rep sent me here (and to Classic Shell) when I asked about this.

What was Microsoft thinking when they didn't include an option to use the old menu? I'm still on 1511 but I'm expecting the Anniversary Update to be pushed out soon
