    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    Apologize for delay in reply.

    As a workaround, I suggest you to change the desktop background/ remove the desktop background and check.

    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.

    Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    20H2 FullScreen Start Menu Transparency

    Greetings

    I just installed the 20H2 Test version of Win10 mainly for the Start Menu now having transparent tiles similar to how they were on W10M but alas I can't really enjoy it because of the "lack" of transparency for everything that is NOT a tile.

    I can't even screenshot to show of the effect because it would turn the problematic area with not enough transparency entirely opaque so third world grade photos will have to do:

    This is how my Start Full Screen would normally look like - Opaque Tiles on a 95% transparent layer slightly darkening the Desktop Background Image visible behind it:

    This is how it now looks after the 20H2 update - Transparent tiles on a ~50% transparent grey layer almost blotting out my DBI:

    Is there a way to up the transparency of that layer to bring back the look of the 2004 version?

    After update to 20H2, some window backgrounds are transparent

    Is it possible to make the background transparent in the Paint program?

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    It is not possible to make the background transparent in the MS Paint,
    I suggest you to post your valuable suggestions in Windows feedback app. So, that developers will try to implement it in future Windows 10 Builds to enhance user experience



    Thank You.
