Guess what,

I reinstall the windows 8, and do the same setting as before.

And this problem is back!

Is it possible to make the animation more win7-like?

That can be fixed by disabling start menu translucency (or animations).

This will be fixed in a future version?

Try reinstall Windows 8 three times, got how to fix it, but still don't know how and why this problem happened.

The problem only happened after I install Norton Internet Security (And do fullly upgrade).

If I select wallpaper path through "Library", then this problem will happened.

If I select wallpaper path though absolute path, then it will be okay.

Going to reinstall Windows 8 again, to get everything back to normal...

pheraps I fount an issue.
I've selected "Return to last used Environment" as a modern app is closed, but I noticed that recetly it returns to Desktop in any case, even though I open the modern app from the Start screen.
Is it normal?
I think it has started since i installed 2.0.1.
Thanks a lot

There's a regression in 2.0.2 in this matter. It will be fixed in the next version.

thanks I also noticed this yesterday.

There are two issues I'd like to see solved in StartIsBack. First is minor: typed text in the search field should match other text instead of remaining light gray.
Second issue is a bit more difficult. Triggering the problem requires disabling desktop dimming from the UAC prompt. When you start something that requests elevation from the search bar in the start menu with keyboard, the elevation prompt has no focus. And the window that used to have focus previously loses it too. It can be triggered for example by typing "regedit" and simply pressing enter. Or it can be triggered by typing random program, say "calc", and pressing ctrl+shift+enter.

Had a poke around the Windows Blue aero.msstyles, and Microsoft has removed over 90% of the start menu resources.

Curious as to how this will affect SIB considering as far as I know it still relies on that information by default.

I've tried it and Setup works, but I can't see a StartButton.

Just to let you know that this (v2.0.2) does not work with Windows Blue, build 9364. It installs, restarts explorer, and does nothing, no start orb, nothing running in the Task Manager.

Classic Shell v3.6.5 also does not work. The .exe and it's service run, but don't actually do anything, other than bypass the Metro Start Screen.

Start8 does not work either. It runs (places a horrible icon on the Taskbar) but does nothing when clicked.


I have tried compatibility mode, and everything I can think of. I'm sorry Tihiy.

This is a definitely sad news. StartIsBack as is won't work on Windows Blue, due to Start Menu implementation removed from it - almost completely.

I'm really sorry, I just don't understand MS's decision on this.

Implementation from Explorer or the msstyles?

Explorer, msstyles, registry - all of them.

. I was hoping just the msstyles since that's just what I noticed because adding back the stuff in the msstyles would be quite easy.

Could you please tell me if the animations will be 'fixed' or something, using transparency will make the animations look strange, I have to disable transparency to make them soft, like win7. I have no idea if that is a bug or they are supposed to work like that? Thank you.

Unfortunately, transparency & animation does not work well with Windows 8. This may or may not be fixed in the future.

Sometime or never. Writing a new start menu from scratch will take a long time.
