When I click on the Start8 icon on the left task bar the search window comes up and a list of programs comes up in the left panel and there is seveal things in the next panel like games, control panel, devices and printers, etc. Whne you click on all programs all of your current programs show up in the left column and you can scroll up and down the list.
In the latest version the left panel is almost empty and no up or down function and the next panel to the right is blank, this happened on both of my computers and my options were the same as the previous version. I will just stick with the 1.40 version until another new version is available.
The update versions always uninstalls the previous one and then reboots after the newer version is loaded.
