I thought win10 had an expanded start menu. That look s like win7. Confused.

WB10 is working nice on 8.1 and no problems with Start8.

Likely, like with Windows 8.1, without Start10, you'll get an unskinned Windows10 start menu.

Edit: Yes, I checked. Non skinned Win10 menu, which is to be expected.

Xp had a startmenu- It was being skinned.

Win 7 had a startmenu- It was being skinned.

Win 10 has a startmenu.....why do we need start 10 ??? Hmmm...

Hopefully Sks 10 will have a Startmenu area for skinning the win 10 startmenu just like it used to be for XP & 7

The Win10 startmenu is not designed to be skinned and is not theme aware.

My Windows 10 start menu is skinned just fine Jim, Using the new Start 10 1.08. I get the actual skin start menu. I have it set to Windows 7 menu in Start 10 though.

Yes, Tom. Mine too, WITH Start10. DaveRI was wanting to see it WITHOUT Start10, in which case, it isn't skinned.

Yep, we're all good. I wasn't sure how all this was fitting together.

I never had any reason to pay attention to the Start8/10 line until, well, today

Thanks Neil, then we know.

-Question 2 from me. Can you create an option/feature just like you can choose Win 7 style, for start 10 so it looks like the "native" Win 10 Start menu ?

That feature is already there Andy, just select the Windows 10 menu in Start 10. I tested it in Windows 10 and it works.

Is it skinned with "Tiles" on the right hand side ?
