Request: Option to open full start screen

October 1, 2012 6:08 AM from

In the pre-release version there was an option that made the Start Button just open the default Win 8 Start Screen (that fills the entire screen). Can we get this back please? I'm happy enough with the default Start Screen, I just want a Start Button to activate it as the hot corner doesn't work easily with my dual monitor setup.

This will be in the next beta, but as a short term solution, set the Start8 menu style to Windows 7 style and then use the settings on the control page to set the action for the start button to Windows 8 start menu.

Thank goodness!

I was hoping I didn't just pay for Start 8 after using the free beta, and then all of a sudden lose the feature that I personally liked.

At least there is a way around it.
