but is running in background
Stardock Forums
I've just installed the trial of this because I want to check it out before I buy it. I've installed it and restarted yet the start button has not changed from the Windows 8.1 Start Menu.
Is there anything I have to do to get this to work?
Did you start the trial in app?
It should have prompted you on install, but running Start8Config should prompt too.
I clicked start trial and I'm in the config window. I closed the config window, restarted and nothing.
Uninstalled it, used CCleaner to remove any old files and reinstalled and it works.
Had a similar problem i.e, Start8 not starting after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro. The following is what worked for me. I went to the Start8tweak.exe folder in C:\ProgramFiles\Stardock\Start8. After clicking on that folder, the following window Start8 Advanced Tweaks appeared. I then placed a check mark against “Start8 should be enabled in this user account” and my Start8 application started. Hope this solution helps.
