This may be unrelated to Start10. One way to find out would be to select the Windows 10 menu style in the Start10 configuration. That uses the native Start menu. There are a number of reasons why the taskbar may fail to auto-hide. Here's a search that will find a number of articles on the topic: https://www.google.com/#q=windows+taskbar+autohide Some of those are for older versions of Windows but are
I'm running into this too, with Start10 1.11 and Windows 10 1607 (and I think it happened with 1511 too). I have the taskbar on the bottom and set to autohide. The case I encounter a lot is when I have Visual Studio 2015 in full screen mode. With the Windows 7 or Modern start menus, tapping the Windows key makes the taskbar visible for a fraction of a second, and then VS2015 appears again where the taskbar should be. The problem goes away with the Windows 10 menu, but of course th
I just ran into another similar problem, but almost the opposite of the previous one. This time the All Programs and Shut Down text are very small, all other text is normal size, and the overall Start menu size is very small. This is with Start 10 1.11 on Windows 1607; the previous problem was on Windows 1511. It happened in the same situation where I'd resumed from Standby. <img src="https://co84lw-dm2305.files.1drv.com/y3moz_ZEEOqfRwqyyHDro2ysd8wYFQ1uVYsalPCzuKsW38r0N6Y9bpkOSkXm
Here's a screenshot of the menu from the last time it happened, along with one with the menu's normal appearance. These are rather large because they are from a Retina display, and the normal text is also large because the display scaling is set to 250%. Other apps and the Windows desktop were unaffected; they all looked normal. I didn't look at the various Start10 submenus, but will do that if it happens again. <img src="https://e4qpcw-dm2305.files
I have seen this happen several times too, running Windows 10 and Start10 on a MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013 edition, NVIDIA graphics). It happens occasionally when I put the machine into sleep and then resume. I hadn't updated the graphics driver recently; just standby and resume. A reboot clears it up for me too. I also have a separate Windows 10 installation in a Parallels VM and have not seen the problem there. But that could just be because I never put the VM on stand
Start8 has a nice feature when you can hold down Ctrl key when clicking the Start button to get the Metro Start screen (or the other way around if you've changed the relevant setting). However, the Ctrl key does not work with the Windows key. Ctrl+Windows does nothing. For consistency and convenience, Ctrl+Windows should reverse the Windows key action just like Ctrl+Start reverses the Start button action. Thanks!
I like Start8, but I don't want a Start button. I never click the Start button in Windows 7; I always use the Windows key instead. So I don't want a Start button in Windows 8 either. I'd prefer having back the extra taskbar space. Thanks! Edit: I found a way to do this, or get pretty close. I simply selected Custom Image in the Start8 configuration and set the image to a 1x1 pixel transparent PNG. Still, it would be nice to have an explicit "no Start button" option
