You should measure the delta of RAM usage for explorer.exe, since all start menus live there.

StartIsBack 1.1 is out!

Yeah, the increased ram usage was happening in Windows Explorer not Start8 itself. Upon removing it, the problem disappeared. Been using StartIsBack ever since, and it's been great!

Hello,

Lenovo computers: Lenovo QuickLaunch for Windows 8

Samsung computers: Samsung Quick Starter (go to Samsung Windows 8 Upgrade Page and install the Windows 8 Software & Drivers Update Tool, which will then download the tool).


Personally, I'm starting to get used to the Start Screen, but I do see how a program to bridge the gap might be useful for some users until they become used to the new functionality.

What the hell has this got to do with the thread!

Hello Ashrokel,

Those two programs are manufacturer-specific replacements for the Start Menu under Windows 8. One is by Lenovo and one is by Samsung. Sorry if I was unclear about that.

I have tried all of theseon this page and IMO Start8 is the best. Yes, it does cost but the $4.99 is well worth it. They have just updated it again and it is even faster

I used start8 for a while and thought it was good. However, I want to try and get used to Win8 the way it was meant to be by M$ as I help out other people witht heir computers and they wont have it.

I tried out Pokki https://www.pokki.co...ws-8-start-menu
it looks AWESOME IMO, but it was a total resource hog and made my laptop slow as hell.

Anyone else tried it out?

Regardless if it was from a one post wonder, StartMenuPlus8 should not have been deleted from this topic, because it's still relevant.

Ah man, that is not only one ugly looking site, the Start menu this guy's created looks like something barfed up in 1997. What the heck!
