Windows 8 has a number of features that can be annoying to experienced users of the traditional Windows desktop. From adding a Start menu to disabling the bulky ribbon, noisy live tiles, and unnecessary lock screen, you can easily fix a variety of problems you have with Windows 8.

Some of these tricks will also help you master Windows 8 as it’s meant to be used – for example, the power-user tools menu and keyboard shortcuts can be used to get around the desktop (and the rest of the system) very quickly.
