Start Menu Inconsistent Blur Bug

from Stardock Forums

The blur on the start menu will sporadically cease working leaving a purely transparent start menu. I have attached a picture of how it should look and what it looks like when the blur disappears.

This is running on windows 10 x64. I have Startmenu on two other machines that are running windows 11 x64 without issue. Any ideas Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows 10 full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. Start11 full version number
  3. The issue happen on Start11 Windows 10 style only or on any other Start11 style too?
  4. Do you have any Wallpaper changer running for your background? Such as Deskscapes, Wallpaper engine etc.
  5. Do you see if the issue happen after a full screen video, playing games, waking from long inactivity (sleep).
  6. Does the issue goes away if you restart Explorer.exe? https://www.howtogeek.com/198815/use-this-secret-trick-to-close-and-restart-explorerexe-in-windows/

Thank you.
