3.5/5

WinPlusX is a tiny and unobtrusive piece of software that aims to bring a touch of convenience to your older versions of Windows (such as XP, Vista, and 7) by adding a Quick Access menu within the taskbar.

If you're unfamiliar with this name, there's still a good chance that you're using Quick Access Menu on either Windows 8 or 10, on a daily basis, without even knowing it. In short, the Quick Access Menu can be accessed by either clicking the start button or via the Win+X keyboard combination.

The utility does not require installation, however, please note that .NET Framework 4.0 or newer needs to be installed on your computer before you can use it. The application smoothly integrates with your computer's taskbar, where it adds a tiny shortcut icon.

Once launched, you can access its pre-added shortcuts or tasks directly by right-clicking its icon or by simply using the Win+X keyboard combo. You're provided with shortcuts for accessing the Desktop, as well as for launching basic windows utilities such as Run, Notepad, Registry Editor, Search, Windows Explorer, Control Panel, and Task Manager.

You can access more advanced sections such as Command Prompt, Computer Management, Disk Management, System, Power Options, Event Viewer, Device Manager, Network Connections, and Programs and features. Opt for the WinPlusX Options on the top, and you can also add new or delete already existing shortcuts.

While hardly impressive both regarding looks and functionality, WinPlusX might prove itself quite useful for users who reverted from Windows 10 and 8 to older versions and still want that extra convenience brought by the Quick Access Menu.

What's new in WinPlusX 4.0:

  • Added Icons Option, Now When you Add an shortcut, WinPlusX automatically sets its default icon.
  • Added Seperators to classify Shortcuts.
  • Fixed Some Minor issues like not autohiding and extra context menu opening as reported by our friend Vishal~Gupta.
