Disable Metro Windows 8.1
Sep 28, 2014 Using Metro Killer is also very simple. Download, run the tool, and click Yes button to disable Start screen, charms bar, and hot corners. Metro Killer is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8/8.1 systems but doesn’t support Windows RT.
Question from today's mailbox:
- Metro apps are pretty nice, but they absolutely suck on a Windows desktop with a mouse and keyboard. That's to be expected though, since Metro (also known as Modern UI or Microsoft design language) was created mainly with touch input in mind for Surface Pros and Windows Phones.
- Jan 07, 2015 Even in Windows 10 i find myself right clicking on the start button and using the start menu from 8 or just simply using the search bar. One of my favorite features about Windows 8.1 is that it didn't have a start menu that just takes up screen space. Edited Jan 6, 2015 at 14:04 UTC.
Is there a way to get the old-style (Classic) Start Menu back in the Windows 8 Consumer Preview?
I've lost count of how many times I've been asked the question over the past few days, and thanks to the good folks at AskVG, we have an answer. The answer comes in the form of a tool called ViStart, a tool initially developed to give Windows XP a Windows Vista/7 style Start Menu.
Note: If you are going to install ViStart, be careful during the install process because it offers you third-party programs (Babylon toolbar and Registry Cleaner Pro) that you might not want to install.

Install the program and the familiar Start Button (or orb) is back. However, there's a problem because the button overlaps with the Taskbar.
The trick around this is to create a new blank toolbar on the Taskbar to shift the other icons across. How to do this is detailed over on AskVG. Once you do this, Windows 8 starts to look and feel a lot like Windows 7.
I've tested ViStart on a couple of Windows 8 installations and it seems to work just fine.
