Not so long ago it was reported that in the Windows 8.1 operating system, the software giant will return the Start button and the desktop interface familiar to most. Currently, information about the functionality and appearance of the “resurrected” Start button has appeared on the Web.
According to the extremetech.com resource, the updated button will be significantly different from the “Start” in Windows 7. When you hover the mouse pointer, it changes color, and when you click, the start screen of the updated Metro interface pops up.
According to reliable sources, the Start button in Windows 8.1 inherited the design of a similar icon in the Charms panel in Windows 8. Most likely, it will be activated by default, but users will be given the opportunity to deactivate it.
It should be noted that in the updated Metro interface, when you hover the mouse pointer in the lower left corner of the screen, not the list of running applications, but the Start button will appear. Clicking on the button will open a full list of applications installed on the computer (All Apps View), which are sorted alphabetically. In the updated interface, users have the opportunity to customize the list for themselves, namely, arrange the application icons as they wish.
Judging by the above screenshot in the new classic Windows 8.1 interface, you can set the same desktop wallpaper as in the Metro interface. Several sources who are aware of Microsoft’s plans confirm that in Windows 8.1, you will be given the option of choosing to download directly into the so-called desktop interface immediately after entering your login and password, bypassing slightly annoying Metro.
After weighing all the pros and cons, you can say one thing: the All Apps View list looks useless compared to the handy Start button. How convenient will the complete list of installed applications be in full screen?
Recall that Windows 8.1 will be free to download from the Windows Store.
