Pokki is a freeware software developed to reverting Start Menu (Classic menu) and Start Button in Windows 8 and Win 8.1 Operating Systems.

Suppose you are running Win 8 / 8.1. In that case, you may face trouble in the Start screen as Microsoft has officially removed Start Button in Windows 8 operating system but again reverted with Windows 8.1. However, still instead of ‘Classic Menu,’ it shows Start Screen.

Classic Shell is the best free application to get Start Button and Start Screen in Windows 8 and Win 8.1; however, Pokki can be used as an alternate if you want a different look start menu.

Pokki does not replace the default start button of Windows 8.1 but adds a Pokki icon next to it. At any time, if you want to remove the Start Button, right-click the Pokki icon > deselect the “Show Windows logo” option.

The Pokki menu is actually not the classic start menu, which you were earlier used in an older version of Windows. The modified Pokki menu is bigger and better than what you have ever used. On the left-hand side, it has quick navigation links to favorites, all apps, Control Panel, along with a customizable list of locations such as Libraries, Documents, etc.

To tweak this menu, right-click the Pokki icon and go to Settings; make the desired changes as you like. Pokki comes with some advertisement; if you don’t want these ads, uncheck “Show popular PC apps” to remove the bottom’s ads.

The customizable Pokki lets you choose the theme, show or hide the left sidebar, choose which quick-links show up in the sidebar, change the Pokki icon to a walnut, home, or the Windows logo, etc. There are various customization options.

It also comes with Search enabled; to access your apps, files, control panel, and power options with Pokki’s Windows 8 Start Menu. Pin and organize your favorite apps and websites just like you would on your smartphone.

In my opinion, you should give a try Pokki, as it is a free application and can be downloaded from here.
