When I turn on the “auto hide toolbar” setting and press Win, the bottom of my start menu will be blocked by the shown up toolbar, looks like pic 1: pic 1: turn on 'auto hide toolbar' Everything goes will when I turn off “auto hide toolbar” setting, looks like pic 2: pic 2: turn off 'auto hide toolbar'

Yes, I also have this problem.

I saw this problem intermittently during the trial. It did it when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen to trigger the taskbar to unhide.

I've never seen this without this app installed.

How to reproduce: Install power start menu on win 11 system with taskbar set to auto hide.

Note: If you look at the screen shots in the windows store, you can see the overlap issue.

After disabling and re-enabling auto hide the start menu behaved normally until PC went to sleep. Issue return when I woke it.

I am using this on 2 identical pc's. On one PC the start menu is centered. On the other pc the start menu is aligned to the left side. Both pc's have the taskbar set to autohide.

I am only seeing this issue on the pc with the start menu centered.

Thanks for additional details. I could fix the issue with start menu with ease relatively. When start menu is triggered by "WIN" key on a second monitor, the search panel is yet attached to the primary monitor, that would took more work.

I had not considered multi monitor. The PC with no issues runs with just one monitor enabled 95% of the time. The PC having the issue always has 2 monitors enabled.

Within the power start menu app settings "Use Current Monitor" was turned on. I turned it off and when I did so the issue went away. I noticed "current monitor" seems to be the one the mouse pointer is on when the win key is pressed.

Oddly, if I open the power start menu app again, the issue returns. The start menu overlaps the start bar again, randomly behind or in front of it, when clicking the windows button on the primary monitor or pressing the win key but... If I click the windows button on the taskbar on my secondary monitor, the menu starts working properly on both screens again.

Notes: In Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar Behaviors the settings are as follows.

Automatically hide the task bar - on Show Badges on taskbar apps - on Show flashing on Taskbar Apps - on Show taksbar on all displays - on When using muliple displays, show taskbar app on - all taskbars Share any window from my taskbar - off Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop - on Show seconds in systray clocl - off Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels - Always Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels on other taskbars - Always

After "2024-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5039212)" the start menu is stuck with the taskbar covering part of it like the picture in the OP.

The only thing that raises it to the normal position is turning off "auto-hide taskbar" and when turned back on, it overlaps again.

Please fix this bug.
