RetroUI is a utility for Windows 8 (applies to the Pro edition) and Windows Server 2012 (the Server edition) by Thinix that modifies Windows Shell, especially the Start menu and taskbar. RetroUI places a Start menu and start button on the Windows taskbar, makes taskbar visible on the Start screen, and allows users to run Windows Store apps in re-sizable windows.{{cite web|last=Kingsley-Hughes|first=Adrian|date=5 February 2013|title=RetroUI Pro 3 Brings The Efficiency And Simplicity Of Windows 7 To Windows 8 PCs|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/adriankingsleyhughes/2013/02/05/retroui-pro-3-brings-the-efficiency-and-simplicity-of-windows-7-to-windows-8-pcs/|work=Forbes|accessdate=18 February 2013}}{{cite web|last=Gordon|first=Whitson|date=19 November 2012|title=RetroUI Updates, Lets You Run Full-Screen Apps in Regular Window|url=http://lifehacker.com/5961825/retroui-updates-lets-you-run-full+screen-apps-in-regular-windows|work=LifeHacker|accessdate=18 February 2013}} RetroUI was launched in September 2012.{{cite web|last=Whitney|first=Lance|date=5 September 2012|title=Bypass the Windows 8 Start Screen with RetroUI|url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33642_7-57506672-292/bypass-the-windows-8-start-screen-with-retroui/|work=CNET|accessdate=18 February 2013}}{{cite web|last=Epstein|first=Zach|date=7 September 2012|title='RetroUI' lets users ditch Windows 8′s new interface entirely|url=https://news.yahoo.com/retroui-lets-users-ditch-windows-8-interface-entirely-164513792.html|work=Yahoo!
