I know that many people are still unhappy with Windows 8 for the lack of the Start button and are not even satisfied with the new Windows 8.1 button that opens the Start screen of the applications. This is because the Windows 8 Start screen is not a real list of programs installed on the computer but only lists the applications installed by the store.
This is why it is important to know that in Windows 8.1 you can change a simple option to see not the classic Start screen open but the complete list of programs and applications in a more compact and presentable view .
Those who want to see the complete list of applications when they press the Start button at the bottom left in Windows 8.1 can make sure they don't see the traditional Start screen again.
Without installing any program, in Windows 8.1, go to the desktop, right click on the taskbar and enter the " Properties ".
In the properties window of the taskbar, go to the " Exploration " tab and, in the " Start screen " section, enable the " Automatically show All Apps view when accessing Start " box, click Apply and then OK
From now when you press the Start button in the lower left corner, the list of all applications will open and the same will also appear when you press the Windows key on the keyboard and when you press Start in the Charms bar.
In addition, you can also order Apps to sort all apps and programs by name, installation date, last used date or category.
You can change the sort order of the list by pressing the down arrow next to the word App by name.
If you don't use Windows 8 apps a lot but use your PC in a traditional way, with PC programs, you can make desktop programs appear first in this list of apps .
Still in the Explorer tab of the properties of the taskbar in Windows 8, you must also enable the box " List desktop apps first ... when sorted by category ".
Now press the Start button to open the screen of all the apps and note that the programs installed on the PC are listed first if the list is sorted by category.
For those who really can not stand this news, remember that you can always put the Start Menu button on Windows 8
