8StartButton is one of the most popular Start menu apps on the web right now, as it brings back the traditional feature on modern versions of Windows, including the core 8 and the 8.1 OS update.

The developing team is trying to keep the app up to date with all the changes made by Microsoft, so today a new version got to see daylight with support for Windows 8.1 Update.

8StartButton 2.6.4 thus works on the operating system version launched by Microsoft a couple of days ago, so if you can’t wait for the new Start menu that Microsoft will debut later this year, give this new build a try to see what it’s up to.

Of course, the application can be installed on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows and comes with a decent feature lineup that includes access to your installed programs, but also power controls to quickly reboot or shut down the computer.

Overall, there is no doubt that this update comes in handy to those who have already installed Windows 8.1 Update and are trying to make the desktop look and feel a bit more familiar, so download 8StartButton 2.6.4 right now to see what it brings new on modern Windows.
