Don't like the Windows 10 start menu? Stardock has a solution for you

When Windows 8 came out sans Start Menu, there was general outrage from consumers but little fixes until Stardock released their Start8 software to bring back the Windows 7 menu you knew and loved.
However, when Windows 10 was released, Start8 still worked, kinda, although it killed some Windows 10 features including basic pinning to the taskbar.

This week, Stardock has released Start10, built specifically for Windows 10 and consumers that want the Windows 7 start menu back.

As with previous offerings, the software will not break the bank, but it does cost $4.99 for a lifetime license.
