Can't resize Windows 10 Start Menu if taskbar is vertical

I'm running Windows 10 Pro build 1511 on a Lenovo T450s. I have the taskbar aligned vertically along the left side of the screen. The problem is that the start menu will only come out about half way across the screen and won't allow me to drag it wider.
I discovered a temporary workaround by moving the taskbar to the bottom and then opening the start menu and dragging it full width, and then moving the taskbar back to the left again. Except after some time, the start menu will revert to it's narrower width
and then I will have to do that all over again. I also noticed while testing that if the taskbar is vertical, if I open the start menu and it is fully wide, it will allow me to resize it to the narrower setting, but then will not let me resize it full width
again. I also tried testing having the taskbar vertically on the right and it misbehaved the same way. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?

 

Enable or Disable Resizable Start Menu in Windows 10  


Okay, sorry bout that.
I was under the impression it was a two step process to go from the default menu to the resizable menu then an extra step to go to the Start Screen. *Redface
