Meet StartIsBack

StartIsBack is the name of a free application which helps you achieve any of the following:

  • Show taskbar on Start screen
  • Remove clutter from Start screen
  • Boot to desktop without 8.1

After trying this app myself, I am pleased to say that it works very well, supplying the goods it claims to be, and for me it brought back the sanity to Windows 8, how about you?
