Start10

About the Software

Customize your Start menu for easy access to Universal and Classic apps, options for Fences integration, filtered searches, and more with the number one Windows Start menu alternative, Start10.

With Start10, you can return to the classic Windows 7 style or activate a Modern design and use onboard configuration tools to make it even better. Change out colors, apply textures, hide or customize your Start menu button, and more.

Start10 has many additional customizations all packaged in an easy-to-use UI. You can enable taskbar transparency and shift the level of blur applied to your desktop background. If you want to clean up your secondary displays, set your Start button to “hide”.

Setting up search filter options allows you to find what you need quickly in a Start menu Windows or web search. Start10 has its own Search box, plus offers easy one-click access to Universal applications and added shortcuts within the Start menu itself.

If you're a Fences user, Start10 is already fully integrated with the application! You can organize your favorite programs and most-used applications right in your Start menu in an easy-to-find grid without having to minimize or move open windows out of the way.

Start10 blends the best of what you are looking for when launching your favorite applications in a customized Start menu that ultimately reflects your style.
