Yes folks! The Start button (Blue) is coming to Windows 8.1 and here is the first screenshot showing the iconic button back, but it won't look like the one you're used to in Windows 7.

How to Fix Start Button and Charm Bar/Side Corners Not Working in Windows 8/8.1
The new button has the same shape and form as the Start button in the Charms bar, and behaves the same way (if you hover over it, you'll notice the button change color). It's on the left side of the taskbar (where else, right?), as in previous versions; on the Start screen, however, it's not visible until you hover over the bottom-left corner of the screen. And remember, it's just for switching between experiences—the Start menu isn't coming back.
But wait… there's more. It's very possible that the software giant will also include an option to change the home screen for a list of applications and allow users to use the same desktop background on the home screen.
Although this information comes from Paul Thurrott, who confirmed that the leaked screenshot showing the Windows 8.1 Start button is real, there is also the possibility that Microsoft will make a last-minute change of course. But if the changes stick, they will surely help all those users who were unable to find their way around the operating system.
