For those of you who don't like the 'hybrid' start menu in Windows 10, install Classic Shell. Change the start button and you can have the traditional looking Windows 7 Start Menu back or go retro and get a XP style menu or even Windows classic start menu.Some people like StartMenu8 from IOBit. Basically the same as classic shell. Both utilities are free and have been around for awhile so they are very stable.
I personally prefer Classic Shell when I was working with Windows 8 and 8.1. So I decided to install it on Windows 10. Downloaded the latest beta which talks about Windows 10 features. Worked fine from the start. Did my normal tweaks inside the settings and looks slick. I turned it off after a few hours. I am using the Windows 10 start menu just to get used to it, might switch back to Classic Shell later.

On August 9th beta version of Classic Shell replaced with stable version 4.2.4. Working fine so far.
