Win8.1 Start Button Right-Click Menu

February 12, 2014 10:27:12 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Was wondering if there is a way to enable the default menu that pops up in Windows 8.1 when right-clicking on the Start Button. It has a lot of nice shortcuts in there so I'm wondering if I've overlooked a setting to enable it or if there is a registry setting I can change to turn it back on so that it works with Start8.

Thanks!

I've found that if you go all the way into the bottom corner and right-click, the menu comes up.  I'm with you.  I'd rather have that menu than the Start8 config menu.

You're right! Bottom left corner right-click and there it is! Now hopefully they will just add it into Start8 so that it just comes up all the time. But I can certainly live with your workaround. Good lookin out bro!

OMG there it is all nice and tucked away in the Advanced box lol.

Ok so I enabled that option but now when I right-click on the Start button it doesn't do anything. I tried rebooting as well but to no avail. Is there another setting that I need to enable/disable to get this one to work correctly?

I'm using the latest v1.31 version of Start8

Can you check if you have hlp.exe in the Start8 folder and that you installed it under Program files (or Program Files (x86).
