Windows 10: Start menu transparency not working at all

My start menu transparency isn't workingBelow is my taskbar, which is translucent as it should be.I messed around with Windows colors and themes in the registry editor before noticing my start menu transparency isn't working. I reset Windows theme to the default blue black color then restarted the machine.Transparency still wouldn't work. I tried the methods in the following link https://www.howto-connect.com/fix-start-menu-transparency-not-working-windows-10/ to no avail.Its not that important but it gets annoying realizing its opaque. Thanks if anyone can help me.

Start menu transparency -> Windows 10 ver. 2004

Start menu transparency -> Windows 10 ver. 2004

I was wondering is there a way to make the background 100%.

I have followed these steps but it doesn't work.

How to Increase the Transparency of Windows 10 Start Menu and Taskbar

I guess it'll work in previous versions.

I know there are programs that do this but I don't want to use any.

 

Start Menu Transparent When Set to Transparency Off

Set start menu to be not transparent. It is still transparent. Set it to be transparent, then set it back to not transparent in hopes that would work. It didn't. Any help?

 

Start Menu Not Transparent

The Transparency Effects was actually
on when the screenshot of the smaller start menu was taken

There is some transparency showing in my last image - this can be seen (barely) on the same line as the PHOTOS tile.

Whilst running with a working setup - background image and full screen start menu transparency I did this:

Transparency Effects off with the Use Start Full Screen
on
and solid BLACK background was generated.

Following the generation of the solid black background (loss of image and Accent colour) above, I then tried this:

Transparency Effects off and
Use Start Full Screen on shows a solid accent colour, no image

Transparency Effects off and
Use Start Full Screen off shows a solid accent colour, no image

Transparency Effects
on and Use Start Full Screen
off shows a transparent accent colour, no image

Transparency Effects
on and Use Start Full Screen
on shows a solid black colour, no image

Is it related to the IMAGE on a background, perhaps... anyhow, if you have reproduced, that's a start.

Most times when this happens, the Surface is coming out of sleep. It goes to sleep with image and transparency working (full screen start menu) then when awoken, no image, solid black background - irrespective of accent colour.

Make start menu small, then the accent colour is shown - solid or transparent - dependant upon whichever options have been set.

Thanks
