Taskbar / Start Menu unresponsive in some areas

Open LinnenMinus opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug

Start Menu unresponsive specifically for right clicking apps, clicking the Start Menu and Search function This is happening on a MicroWin installation of Windows 11 Pro.

Tried these troubleshooting options but none worked, haven't tried to reset PC yet (don't want to): https://www.thewindowsclub.com/right-click-not-working-on-start-menu-or-taskbar

To Reproduce

Unknown, started happening from nowhere. However, I do use an app that modifies the shell extension called "FileMenu Tools" but I am unsure how that would affect it.

Expected behavior

Right-clicking apps and clicking the Start Menu should work properly

Additional context

Right-clicking in the taskbar works, but clicking on the Start Menu, Search or Calendar does not work.

Does this still affect when turning off the auto hide?

I suggesting trying it out without this shell extension. the Shell includes many things so that may very well be the reason.

Since there was no Feedback, the issue was not reproducable and this Issue is relatively old, I am going to close this out.
