    Start Menu Stays Open After Clicking App


    Yo Xperts,


    Since the New Edge, the Start Menu Stays up after starting a selection?


    A new bug or is there a new option - Please do not offer SFC or check for updates.


    Thx,

    Joe

    :)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

  3. Unable to open Windows apps on clicking the Start menu in Windows 10.

    Hi Johnathan,

    Thank you for the updates.

    Let's try to manually pin the apps to the start menu and check if it helps.

    • Open Start menu.
    • Type the name of the app which you want to pin to start.
    • Right click on that app and click on Pin this app to Start.

    Let us know the results.

    Why can't I click inside Start Menu?

    You may also follow these steps to resolve your concern:

    • Right-click on Start menu.
    • From the options, select Command Prompt (Admin) by clicking it.
    • Type in Powershell and then press Enter.
    • Copy and paste this on the Powershell application
      Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
      and press Enter.
    • Wait for the process to finish, close all of the open windows and check your Start menu if it's working properly.
