IObit Start Menu 8 is a small application that lets you add a Start button to your Windows 8 operating system. This button as you may know has disappeared with the emergence of the Metro interface and unless you are using a touch screen device Metro may not be suitable to your computer that uses mouse for navigation. For this reason IObit offers easy switching to the old fashioned layout with a Start button without interfering with the operating system. Furthermore, you can switch back to Metro in one click so this way you can have best of both worlds for faster navigation and multitasking. You can configure many options and settings for best personalization and the program offers a very simple and intuitive interface for an easy setup process.
