Taskbar Background is not painting with correct theme color in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Most times after running full screen apps and playing videos (usually KMPlayer or using Chrome/Edge on youtube), I notice that the full screen app (yes i pressed maximize) doesnt cover the taskbar any longer AND the taskbar background color appears to go transparent. You may think the taskbar is hidden but it isnt. All icons show up and they work. Closing the app doesnt help. Its broken until reboot. It also breaks if startdock is disabled the default win 10 menu retur

Reply to Part of Desktop Blurred After Closing Start Menu in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Hi, After several days I found it. I have a program loaded that has run for years without issue with start10. I can only assume that the app broke after a recent windows update. I determined that Actual Multi Monitors is incompatible currently with Start10. AMM will start to consume windows messages that affect redraw and after a while it hangs explorer with the dreaded spinning cursor. Explorer is completely unresponsive. Killing AMM returns everything to normal If an

Thanks for your responses. I have unloaded and reloaded the lasted version. I have run sfc/scannow and dism. There are no corrupted files. When I remove start10 or even just start10 unload, the corruption immediately disappears. I am also running nvidia whql certified video driver and the prev build just in case. I have uninstalled rebooted, reinstall rebooted. It looks fine until I open open the menu. Im now running 2021H2 Win 10 with no improvement. Also I forgot

This started occuring yesterday. I havent patched anything or updated anything myself in weeks (including video drivers) except for having to reinstall norton av due to licensing change. Ive never seen anything like this before. Its so exactly sized to the start10 menu and goes away immediately when unloading start10, i dont have any starting point. It never occurs with native windows start menu. Moreover, if have never seen a display driver bug which caused blurring. Ive seen a ton of bluesc

Part of Desktop Blurred After Closing Start Menu in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Ive been using Start 10 with Win 10x64 pro just fine for years. However Im now experiencing what is best described as blurred desktop rectangle where start 10 menu displays after the menu closes. The menu itself is not corrupted and appears to work fine. Start Menu and Win 10 are both set to auto update and are on latest version & patches. Of note is the fact that issuing "start10 unload" immediately fixes the issue. Otherwise there is no way to clear the corruption withou

I found the issue and solution. I am running a tool called actual multiple monitor. I use it to have windows open applications to which ever monitor I want and to one-click snap any window to to the other screen. Apparently it some how interferes with multiplicity. I simply created an exception rule for the multiplicity window class and the issue cleared up. Thanks for all your help.

I rewatched the video. I dont think you were doing the same steps as I was (also it appears your primary is a mac - couldnt quite tell but this wouldnt be the same) I saw you press the maximize button in the top right corner and flip on/off 1:1 mode several times. But that isnt the use case for me I only get the issue when I click the minimize button (looks like "_"). This gets be back to the primary's win 10 desktop. From what I could see, this wasnt tested. I

Im sorry but I couldnt quite understand your video. Ill watch it again. Your idea that something else might be interferring is intriguing. I am going to try several items. 1) Safe mode with networking (hoping the primary's multiplicity service starts) 2) Using MSCONFIG to disable all startup items and services If it works, Ill keep adding items back til it breaks and report back

Reply to Multiplicity Menu Bar Stuck Down (When NOT in fullscreen mode) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

If I click on the dropped down part of the title bar, it collapses (rolls up) and then it works properly until the next time when i view anything on the primary. I would be happy to test any config changes or beta code. This bug isnt a P0 or P1 but the way I use multiplicity, its annoying as this occurs 20+ times a day.

Reply to Multiplicity Menu Bar Stuck Down (When NOT in fullscreen mode) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I have uploaded a screen capture. The first part shows the title bar working as expected. After opening, it auto-closed after 3 seconds each time. Then I switch to my empty desktop on the primary. When I switch back, you will see the title bar stuck maximized. It wont autoclose. Please let me know if it is still confusing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sa4ricq0n9n536f/kvm.mp4?dl=0 Thanks!

Multiplicity Menu Bar Stuck Down (When NOT in fullscreen mode) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Hi, Would appreciate any advice on how to properly configure multiplicity to eliminate this or confirm it as bug. I am running M in kvm mode only. This behavior occurs when viewing any secondary. However, it takes a specific set of steps to duplicate every time. Steps to Repro: 1) Connect to any secondary. 2) You will notice that top menu bar is maximized for a few seconds then it auto minimizes. (As expected) 3) Click Minimize ("_" char

This helped. So far I have not seen the issue reoccur. It also seemed to have solved my other question of how to fix fences clipping icon text. Fences seems to be functioning better. Not sure why purging/reinstalling helped. I have never hacked the registry or anything else. However, within 24 hours after doing this, the issue with a broken folder called desktop in the stardock start menu. There is no ability to put anything in the folder, nor delete the folder. Im not sure if this is

Fence Labels Showing up in Start Menu in Fences Stardock Forums

Im running fences on 2 pcs and they are exhibiting different behaviors. The issue I have is that I have 5 fences on the desktop with no labels and the setting "never show label" You can see the icon has the fences logo. I must have a setting wrong, but i cant quite figure it out. Any ideas? In the start menu, I see 5 folders all with the name "Enter Title<img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/50/8/5008942/0b981ba6-26cb-4dcd-92ae-d9d619cbca22.jpg" alt=

Fence width can clip icon text in Fences Stardock Forums

I am not referring to the idea that the icon name splits to a new line. Im saying fences can create widths where the icon text is actually missing. Is there anyway to prevent this? Is this a known issue?

Fences partially off screen in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi, Every once in a while, I move a fence and align it to the edge of the desktop. After that it may randomly move the title bar off the desktop and I dont know how to reposition back to normal or understand why this happens? Any ideas?

Reply to No interaction with Secondary Desktop in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Hi, I did see the autoresponder. I didnt interpret it as the vendor would be responding in the forums. I thought it would be volunteers, thus I said there appears to be no way to reach the vendor. Either way, since you are using the forums, everything is fine. i am in kvm mode running 3.37 on both machines on hardwired 1gb ethernet. However, for the past 2 days it has been working perfectly (without any firewall changes) The only thing i did do was wander throu

Reply to No interaction with Secondary Desktop in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

It is a fine KB article and Im confident it does help the vast majority of issues. It just doesnt even mention the possibility of anything else or what to do to seek further help. I went to stardock's site and there is no chat support, no phone support, and even no email. In the past, when I have reached out to communities, 90% of my questions never get a reply and there is nothing I can do to seek vendor assistance. If your policy is for customers to seek help on the

Running Win10 x64 20H2 with all updates on primary and secondary. Secondary has firewall disabled for all profiles, no 3rd party AV. This connection worked for 2 years without any changes (except windows patching and Multiplicity updates) For the past couple of months, there is nothing I can do to reliably obtain desktop interaction. Usually I can see the desktop and move the mouse, but the keyboard and mouse clicks arent working Pressing the CTL-ALT-DE

Reply to No Mouse/Kbd Control on Secondary in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Same thing i was thinking. However I had not manually changed anything. I disabled Norton firewall and verified secondary fw was disabled. I then started turning off the features inside MalwareBytes. They turned off one-by-one just fine until I tried to disable malware protection. Then the entire app hanged. I rebooted and disabled MB and everything worked. So I reenabled MB features one-by-one until all of them were on. And things still worked. This is strange because

Icon Order Changes Randomly in Fences Stardock Forums

I have certain icons (not all) that seem to randomly, occasionally, swap positions. Putting them back into the correct order is very hard because when the icon is dropped, Fences ignores where I drop it, and puts it somewhere else in the same fence. Eventually I get it correctly located and 1-4 weeks later, the icons are swapped. Is there anyway to LOCK fences settings. That is, all fence sizes, locations, icon positions, etc. are LOCKED and cant be changed?
