Improvements in 7.77 version:

[+] We have improved compatibility with Windows 11 — now StartMenu X works flawlessly.

[+] Now the program initiates system updates before shutting down or restarting the computer if any are available.

[+] The position and size of the StartMenu X window are now individually saved for each monitor.

Usually, the Start menu appears next to the start button or in the center if the button is located in the middle.

You can move the menu or change its size, and StartMenu X will remember these changes.

To make StartMenuX appear next to the start button again, simply move the menu window to the left edge of the desktop, to the place where the standard start button is usually located. This action will reset the position of the menu but will retain its size.

Don't forget to tell your friends about StartMenu X — your support is crucial for the release of updates.

Improvements in 7.35 version:

Sorry for the inconvenience. In the new version of Start Menu X, there are no changes yet. We made an update to tell you about our new project, GPTTools.ai, and to give you three months of subscription for free.

As you've already guessed, it's a wrapper that integrates ChatGPT into the Windows interface. You need to select the text and, by holding the Ctrl key, right-click with the mouse. This allows you to perform translation, spell check, text paraphrasing, word explanations, or any other command you can add to the menu.
(If you continue holding Ctrl when choosing a command, it will open in a chat window).

This means you can work with ChatGPT 4.0 Turbo for free for three months. We hope you will like the program and will sign up for a subscription.

To take advantage of this offer, please visit GPTTools.ai and install the program.
Copy this code without spaces to the clipboard:
8FYH-YFGP-SVQ9-MXB2-BCAH-P3Z4-RAXT
(valid for one week)

Right-click on the program icon (it looks like a star above the earth) in the tray (near the clock) and select "Activate..." Press - Paste - Activate.

Please tell your friends about the program. A larger number of users will help us find investors to develop both programs.

Improvements in 7.34 version:

[+] In honor of the liberation of Kherson from the Russian Nazis, a start button with a watermelon was added. Remember, it is not Putin who kills Ukrainians. It is the Russian who presses the hook that launches the rockets. This Russian pays taxes for building rockets. This Russian is silent. There are no good Russians alive. Glory to the ZSU, which makes many good Russian ones.
Russians brutally killed people in Chechnya, Georgia, Karabash and many other countries even before Putin. It's just that now you can see it thanks to the internet. They were always so inhuman. Hitler learned from Stalin to kill his own people. Do not believe the Russians. Never.

Improvements in 6.8 version:

This feature is very sensitive to other programs. if other programs work with errors, the program cannot correctly display the replacement image for the start button. Therefore, this feature will only be available to those who already use it and will be hidden from others.

[+] Restart PC after setup
To reduce security threats, the program will always require you to restart your PC during installation.

Improvements in 6.75 version:

[+] System search is disabled by default
In the previous version, we replaced the search, but it still works with errors. So we returned the old search and you can enable the new one in the settings.

[+] In the new version, we ignore Windows options regarding the color of the menu
By default, Windows uses black for the menu. We're tired of explaining how to disable this option. Therefore, in the new version, we will not take it into account this option and the menu color will match the color of Aero that you select in windows settings.

[-] Bug fixes with Space X Theme
With certain system settings, the ship remained present.

[-] Removed old shortcuts with a link to the mail and the Internet.
