Windows 8.1 update 1 start menu

after installing the update 1 for the Windows 8.1, I still don't see the start menu!!

how can I recreate that ?

If you right click the The Windows icon and the bottom left of your desktop in Windows 8.1, you get something like a "start menu". If you are expecting a more Windows 7 like "Start Menu", then you will either have to use a 3rd party tool (I recommend ViStart, which is pretty good and free), or wait somewhat longer. I have heard that M$ is intending to bring back the traditional Start menu, but that hasn't been scheduled with last update yet.

" It also adds a Power button Link on the start screen, and a search button, so you can use the mouse more intuitively. "
