DirectStart

This project aims to recreate the unreleased Start Menu update for Windows 8.1

Note: This is not a real reimplementation, just a recreation using C# WPF.

Supported operating systems:

  • Windows 10 and 11 all builds (Some features might not be available)
  • Windows 8.1 build 9600
  • Windows 7 and Vista (With latest free Extended Kernel) (Start Menu background color broken)

Do not use this software on any mission critical systems! Its purely experimental!
