Want the Start Button in Windows 8 back? You can get back the Windows XP style start button in Windows 8 with a tiny program. I’m sharing this here because many people are uncomfortable with the missing of Windwos 8 start button. Actually it’s not missing. Microsoft changed the traditional Windows style in Windows 8. They removed the Start button and introduced a new start screen with app tiles. It’s because of the touch friendly version of Windows.
