Power8 is not only an app designed to revive the Start Menu for Windows 8 PCs, it also provides options for launching the screensaver, locking the computer, restarting or shutting it down.
Moreover, it ensures easy access to the installed software, while also offering users the possibility to pin the apps they use most frequently (to launch them faster in the future).
