Windows 10: Why do the Win 11 Start Menu Power and User Buttons sometimes need a Double Click?

After displaying the Win 11 Start menu sometimes but not always I have to double click on the Power or User button before they will display the options. It should operate and sometimes does with a single click as do all the other items!When I researched this some while back I found the problem raised in a number of forums but without any fix, and it was suggested it was a bug that would be corrected some time in the future. Currently I struggled to find much on this issue at all, just 2 complaints both unresolved after offering solutions that did not work. I did discover an entry, via a brows

In Win.7 is there a Classic Start Menu/Button

Hi,

I'm on Windows Vista at the moment using Opera Browser and I has the nice Start Menu and i'm wondering if there is a program to add a modified Menu cause Win.7 don't have it. I tried Classic Shell it worked but it isn't like the Original Menu with the Microsoft Logo on the left

 

Start Button displaying but not working


The start button was working until there was a forced reboot (power failure). Then left click (normal click) over the start button does absolutely nothing. Right click brings up a menu but "programs" and also "settings" are missing and not included on this list. Search or Task View buttons do not work either with "normal" click. Does anyone have any suggestion or fixes?
Thank you in advance *Huh

Double entries in start menu

Hi, I can't definitely tell you why you have two identical shortcuts, but I can tell you you only get one folder level expressed in Win 10's start menu.

Here's a suggestion for Avast: In your start menu folder do you have a shortcut at the top level as well as within a subfolder? That's what Avast normally creates. I deleted the first a long time back, and have only one visible.

For example, I have a hierarchical start menu with category folders, subcategory folders and a folder for most programs- normal legacy start menu familiar from '98 to Win 7. It's fine if I use Classic Shell. But here's how you can see Win 10's start menu strips out the shortcuts and arranges them so helpfully in alphabetic order.



All those help files are shortcuts in separate subfolders. I suppose the appropriate comment might be 'Help'!

Given what you are seeing this suggests the shortcuts that appear identical perhaps aren't?
