Get Start Button Back in Win Server 2012

I have a Windows server, and it's missing the Start Menu button. It's got the charms, but I'd rather not wait for them to appear after moving my mouse.

I've tried the guides online, but they seem to be outdated as all they do is add folders to the Taskbar.

Solution 1:

There's no Windows Start button in Windows Server 2012. You can "get" one by using a third party utility, like Classic Shell.

Solution 2:

Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 never had a start button, R2 and 8.1 brought it back. Your only options are using the charms menu or using the keyboard.
