Now i know we don't like metro... but i did like that when i right clicked stock 8.1 start button i had all the options of control panel, cmd, task manager, etc. why is this taken away with start8 that was the one thing that was right about it and you guys stripped it off. Please add the option to have that functionality back.
There is a setting in Start8 under advanced settings to enable the OS right click menu.
i only see a setting for "Win + x" for the"start button on the bottom of the screen". not sure if this is it but i have my task bar on the right and when enabled it does not give the right click menu. am i missing something somewhere?
yeah pretty sweet to pay and get the worst part of win 8 fixed and one of the best parts ruined. thanks stardock
The setting in Start8 only applies when the taskbar is at the bottom as access to that menu used to be restricted to the bottom left hand corner of the screen regardless of taskbar position. This hasn't come up as an issue since then as very few people use their taskbar in anything but the bottom of the screen.
We can see about tweaking this in future updates, but you should be able to access that menu by pressing Win+X for now.
