Power8 is not only an app designed to revive the Start Menu for Windows 8 PCs, it also provides options for launching the screensaver, locking the computer, restarting or shutting it down.
Moreover, it ensures easy access to the installed software, while also offering users the possibility to pin the apps they use most frequently (to launch them faster in the future).

What's New in This Release:

- [new] Setting to display Start Menu in more compact way;
- [new] Now also unhandled exceptions are sent to Google Analytics;
- [new] Added information to About dialog on the originating country of Power8;
- [removed] Ukrainian translation. We need someone with UK Windows MUI running it on daily basis. Otherwise quality of translation will suffer;
