Why and how shall I choose a product to show in Start?

Nero Start, as your hub to manage all your Nero programs, it always show the applications of your selected product in Start view. Your selected product name will be listed at Nero Start header bar. If you own several Nero products, you can choose one to show its applications in Start view according to your preference.

For example, in below screen, the Start view lists all your applications of Nero Platinum Suite 2021:

Start view in Nero Start

If you start an application from Start view now, e.g. started Nero Recode as below, Nero Recode 2021 will be started.

Then you may wondering, if I have multiple Nero products, how do I choose which product shall be listed in Start view?

There are two places you can choose the product, and just in 2 steps.

You will find a ‘drop-down’ arrow beside your product name at Nero Start header bar if you own several Nero products.

  • Step 1 – clicking drop-down icon: you will see all your Nero products from the list. The product with green mark is the one which listed in Start view now.
