FAQ
How do I configure Start Menu?
Either right-click Start button and click "Properties" or right-click opened Start Menu itself and choose "Properties" context menu item.
Can I use StartIsBack without the start menu, just for skinning/jump list/awesomeness?
Yes. Just pick the leftmost (Windows 10) style. Then select taskbar and start button styles separately.
Can StartIsBack break my system?
No. If you experience issues with old the program on too recent Windows 10 update, just hold Escape key when logging in to disable the tool.
How do I uninstall StartIsBack?
As expected: go to Control Panel - Programs and Features, find the app, and click Uninstall.
How does the trial version work?
There are no limitations in the trial version. After installing it runs for 30 days. If you don't activate it with license number you bought within 30 days, it will still work, but in limited mode: Start Menu will be blank and sad; every boot you'll be nagged about evaluation period over. The trial period runs for each user who has installed Start Is Back on one PC separately.
Does StartIsBack "phone home"?
No. It does not collect information about your PC hardware or software. It does not use an Internet connection for license validation purposes except the moment you activate it. Online activation service does not collect your IP address or any other information which could identify you or your computer. Computer unique identifiers are transferred in hash form, which does not allow anyone else to view it.
Note: 30 days trial version.
