Windows 8.1 RTM does come with a Start button, but lots of users are still looking for a full-featured app that can do a bit more than taking them to the Start screen.

8StartButton is one of the most popular apps available in this particular category, so every update is quite important for many users out there.

Version 2.4.0 was officially released today and brings traditional and simplified Chinese translations, multiple code optimizations and improved detection of the left Windows key press.

In addition, some UI elements changed their forecolor for a better visual appearance, while several bugs, including a localization issue in the Start Menu, should no longer exist.

Of course, 8StartButton works not only on Windows 8, but also on the RTM version of Windows 8.1, so you can install the app even if you’re running Microsoft’s latest OS.
