The Windows 9 Start menu is one of the hottest topics these days in the IT industry thanks to a number of leaked screenshots showing the new OS version in action, so it’s no surprise that so many people are actually looking into ways to get back the traditional desktop in modern Windows.

Start Menu Reviver is one of the apps that can help you in this regard, and thanks to version 2.5, the application does that even easier.

Start Menu Reviver 2.5 is a really major release for users and brings backward compatibility with old color schemes and more theme customization options, as well as improvements to many built-in modules, including settings, folders view, the tile background colors, and search results.

There are also lots of fixed bugs, including some aimed at tiles and color themes.

Needless to say, the application provides support for both Windows 8 and 8.1 and replaces the default Start button that’s available in the latter to launch the Start menu. A shortcut is also available to bring up the Start screen in case you’d like to keep both of them.

The app comes with a really modern design, and truth be told, this is the closest you can get when it comes to the Windows 9 Start menu, so go ahead and download Start Menu Reviver 2.5 right now to see what it’s up to.
