Description

This package has been retired

Start10 was a Windows 10 Start menu replacement tool by Stardock. Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025, and Windows 10 is the only operating system Stardock lists for Start10.

Why was this package retired?

• Windows 10 has reached end of life and is no longer supported by Microsoft
• Start10 was built for the Windows 10 Start menu; Stardock lists Windows 10 as its only supported OS
• Stardock’s successor, Start11, supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11

Alternatives

For Start menu customization on modern Windows, consider:

• Start11 - Stardock’s successor to Start10 (requires its own license); its installer removes Start10 automatically: choco install start11
• StartAllBack - Windows 11 Start menu alternative: choco install startallback
• Open-Shell - Free, open-source Start menu replacement: choco install open-shell
