    Windows 10 start menu cannot NOT be fullscreened :I


    Hello! :

    Issue:

    I am experiencing an issue where the start menu is always on fullscreen.
    I have looked at the top 5 other pages about this topic and tried the troubleshooting techniques, and none of them have worked.
    I can see my normal desktop when using apps and games that cannot fullscreen e.g. Undertale, but when they are closed it goes back to the full start screen.
    When I press the start key or start button on the taskbar, it goes into fullscreen
    Apps that can fullscreen always do, and I cannot change this. While these apps are fullscreened, I can splitscreen two apps, but that is all.
    I have double and triple checked both that I am not on tablet mode, and the start menu is not supposedto be fullscreened.
    I have followed 3 other methods, and none of them have worked. This started when I first charged my laptop after about a week I was on vacation, and for six months have not been able to resolve this issue.
    I do not know if this is just a new feature, but if so please remove the option to un-fullscreen it. For me at least, it does not work.

    Details:

    I can see the image on my desktop, and in the settings preview it is clear that it is still possible to un-fullscreen it, through settings or otherwise.

    This is on Windows 10.

    Images:

    Sorry, I do not know how to put a screenshot here.

    This issue is pretty annoying :I
    Thank you for your cooperation.

    :)

    Start menu is not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Iunderstand the frustration if things are not working fine as expected.

    Please help us with below details,


            • When you say "If I sign in under my user name I am in some earlier version", which version you are referring to?

            • Did you made any recent changes to your computer prior to the issue?

            • When you say “I cannot access the start menu and am limited to IP as a browser” Is it refers to Microsoft Edge?

    As an initial steps, I suggest you to check for the Windows version. To do so, follow the below steps:

    1) Login to your computer through user name on which it show earlier version of Windows.

    2) Press Windows key + r.

    3) Type winver, hit enter.
