Windows 8 menu Live Tiles blocked

when directly going to the desktop

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Start8, and I'm having this problem since using the 1.1 beta.

When "Automatically go to desktop" option is enabled, when I get into the Windows 8 Start for the first time, the Live Tiles are blocked, though the menu is still usable.

Is just like seeing a "photo" of the Windows 8 Start, everything is motionless.

When I get back to desktop and then again into the Windows 8 Start, the problem is fixed.

This problem is undoubtedly related to the new, improved (and almost perfect) feature that automatically get into desktop, because I tried Start8 1.03 and the problem didn't exist.

I also noticed another very little problem, when opening a submenus in Start8 pausing on it whit the mouse pointer, it doesn't automatically close, like Windows 7 does. However it is a very little bug, but I notice that it hasn't been marked by nobody yet.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this as it doesn't seem like anyone else noticed this.

It would seem like the OS isn't realising it should be updating it.  I will see if we can make an update later this week for the issue with the live tiles on first open.

If you do have issues like this with the betas please do make sure to let us know.

Thank you so much.

In my opinion this is the most significant bug of Start8, and the only one that I noticed, together with the little bug occurring when auto-closing the submenus.

When this bug will be fixed, IMHO Start8 will be absolutely the best start program for Windows 8.

Thank you for your work.
