Windows 10: 7 Start Menu - Clean, Simple Customized

Still prefer this to seeing tile on my desktop screen.

I want to rollback from Window 10 to Windows 7 but can't because of "critical error" with start menu

I want to roll back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 before the brief opportunity to do so is gone. Supposedly, there is a simple way to do this via the Start menu. However, I get a critical error when clicking the Start menu. I cannot access the Start menu.
Is there an alternative way to roll back to 7?

 

Windows 10 (Anniversary Update) - I'd like the old start menu back.

As far as updating, I've no mind, provided they make customization options to keep all their customers in mind. You like the large list, and I despise clutter - which a full list of applications every time I hit the start menu -is-, at least to me. There
are so many options for the start menu, a simple toggle to not display 'all apps all the time' would go a long way here.

 

You can still make use of ClassicShell and get a look very similar to that.
Check it out.

 

I installed W10 yesterday, played with it, found it "better" than W8 but don't see it replacing Windows 7 in both the residential and corporate world.

If someone's XP, Vista or 7 computer craps out on them and they need a new computer right away (in 2015), then walking into a retail store and buying a keyboard/mouse PC with Windows 10 on it will suffice. The people I advise will still be pointed to Windows 7 64bit (any version). *Cool

 

People tend to just use the OS that comes with the PC they purchase. Some will do and update but the most will not.
Win7 is nice but I would point people at Win10.
YMMV

Not an option with a new OS. The whole idea is for Microsoft to stop clowning around with the Start Menu and adding tiles to what has been, and is still is, (with Windows 7) a "clean UI". No one should have to download a replacement for the standard Start Menu, it's just not how it should be. The OS should be self-sustaining. IMHO

 

Ok... well if that's the way you want it, stay with Win7.
No one is telling you to use Win10.
Have a good day..

I was not conversing directly to you, the idea is for the public to view my (and others') perspective and by doing so, accumulate factoids and concepts so they too can make an educated decision on what they will choose for their next OS. I have enjoyed the entire journey from W3.0, W95, W98, WM, W2000, WXP, WV and W7.

I personally do not agree on an "all platform" operating system. Granted, tiles make using a PDA much nicer but not for a person who sits in front of a monitor all day to be productive and move like lightening with a keyboard and mouse...and a super efficient GUI without added bells and whistles.
