Star Menu Tile Lag - Misplaced Cursor For A Few Seconds?
Aug 12, 2015
I have for example two tiles pinned to my start menu in this order from top to bottom in one line:
DocumentsDownloadsGames
I am a person who selects everything in a blink of an eye so in one seconds, right after i click on start button I already have my mouse cursor on the tile I want to click and click it to open the thing I want to open, takes me 1 maybe 1,5 second to do this task. There is an issue with start menu in w10 over here. There is some weird lag or cursor alligement issue for about 1-2 seconds after you open start menu. When you hover over for example Downloads tile, and your mouse cursor is exactly at the downloads tile, instead one tile above the tile you are hovering is hovered and if i press it that tile will open. So if i hover over Downloads, Documents will hover, and if I click, it will open documents. If I hover over Games tile, it will hover Downloads and if I quickly click like i do usually, it will open Downloads folder instead.
The only workaround for this is to either not move my mouse cursor and wait 5-10 seconds for the cursor placement to hover over the right thing (so when im hovering over Games, it will hover over games after those 5 seconds) or if I am constantly moving my mouse cursor around Games tile, then it will hover over that tile 2 seconds later after my mouse cursor has landed on that tile so I can finally click on it and open what I wanted. It is happening every time I open the start menu: Press start button > Hover over tile I want to open > need to move my mouse curcor around that tile for 1,5 ~ 2 seconds, or not move my cursor and wait 5 seconds for windows to actually select that tile > then I can click it, start menu will close, my thing will open > after I need to use start menu again I have to go through the same thing again...
my startmenu in Windows 10 (build 10130).At the moment i have in my startmenu a maximum of 3 (normal sized) tiles in a row. But I would like to have 4 tiles in a row.
I know that this is possible because i had it a little time before in the same build. But after a little crash and a recovery of the system it changed to a 3tile menu.
The ability to pin a shortcut to the left hand of the start menu was a function apparently removed in RC. This really affected my productivity with 10 so I reverted to 7 after a week. I would like to go back to 10 ....
How do I narrow the tiles column in the start menu?
I have unpinned many of the tiles on the start menu and moved others around so that I have only one row of tiles and I would like to make the column narrower, but I haven't been able to. I made the double arrows show on the right side, and I click and hold the arrows to move it to the left, but nothing happens. Am I missing something?
Trying to resize some of my tiles on the Windows 10 start menu. I have added Outlook 2016 and want to set it to Wide but the only options are Small & Medium. How do I get all the options on the resize?
I want to export my Start Menu layout to another (local) account.
However, when using Powershell's Import-StartLayout, I receive an 'access denied' error, it seems that the command tries to access the (hidden) C:UsersDefault folder as I set C: as -MountPath, perhaps this is just a minor issue, perhaps not.
I also tried copying and changing perms of the C:Users[username]AppDataLocalTileDataLayerDatabase folder, to export my start menu and to lock it, but changing any perms (admin or user) to that folder, resulted in corrupted boots, rendering windows slowly and with half its accessibility, I had to do a full system repair (twice), and copying that folder isn't even possible whilst windows is active. But I found out that to lock it, the Registry DWORD ''NoChangeStartMenu" sufficed. But my problem to transfer the settings, the tiles arrangement, persists.
I figured to leave that TileDataLayerDatabase folder with its data alone, and to move on to another solution, being thus the PS command, as described above. I got the info (about that folder) from somewhere on the Internet, someone claimed that the windows 10 Start Menu configuration is stored in it, my advice though : don't touch it!
I'm quite familiar with using the Registry (Users, never LM) to alter perms, either with DWORD's or Key Perms, as well as exporting and executing registry files. I've been searching for some key or value in the Registry, that relates to the arrangement of the Start Menu Tiles, (I know where the shortcuts are in explorer), but no luck there... (like ExplorerTaskband relates to the Taskbar pins)
Thus, given that the StartLayout commands don't work out for me, and well, I don't really like using them either, I'm placing this desperate request, for some knowledge on where I can find the Start Menu Tile arrangement, or how I could export and import it without the StartLayout commands.
PS : The appsFolder.itemdata-ms file as well as its relatives, as they were used in the Appdata to transfer the Start Menu Layout in some versions of windows 8, no longer exist in 10, at least not where they used to be, also I don't have GPO, and prefer Regedit over it.
There is alot of empty space to the right of my start group and I can't seem to resize it or delete it, the only way I can interact with that area is if I drag something in it and only can I rename the group.
I have basically given up hope that Microsoft will return the Windows 7 (and before) Start Menu back where it belongs. So I want to play their game and try to modify the tile side. I see that programs that I pin to the Start menu go to the very bottom of the tiles. I added a title called Start List Programs and moved all of the pinned programs under that title.
I am wondering if I could move that title and the list of programs above the Life at a Glance section. I know that every time I pin something to the Start menu I would have to move it to the top but it would be better than having to pull the bar down to the bottom every time I wanted to access something from the Start menu. If that fails, I will see if Classic Shell has a Windows 10 option and go from there.
I am running Windows 10 Build 10130 and none of the apps listed above will launch from the start tile menu or the all apps list. It appears that most of the apps that came with Win 10 won't launch but the apps that I pinned to the start menu work fine. Since I rarely used these apps I don't know how long this problem has been going on. I restored back to an earlier restore point but the problem is still there. I know it is something I screwed up but I can't figure it out.
i've used win 8, and 8.1 since day 1, and have fallen inlove with the zippiness and productivity enhancing start screen. the start menu to me is taking 35 steps back to the 90s. now that i have 10, i want that back, is there an extension or 3rd party vendor who has come up with that?
What i used to have: and now what i have to deal with:
i want horizontal scrolling, not vertical. its more intuitive. second, i want to scroll with my mouse arrow, not the scroll wheel, i have my mouse set on fastest curser, and i could get to the end of my start screen apps in a quarter of a second, now i have to scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and now my finger is tired. third, the 3-app-wide app-group rule is just asinine. it makes you have to scroll even more because of that in and of itself. 4th, (purely aesthetics) how do i get rid of the taskbar when on the startscreen? it looks dumb.
Whenever I exit Star Wars: The Old Republic, my computer crashes, and I get a BSOD with the win32kbase.sys error. I've tried exiting directly from the game, from the start screen, and even force closing through the task manager. It crashes every time without fail. It doesn't crash at all while playing the game, even playing for 4 hours. Just when I exit the game.
I've switched my AV from Bitdefender to Norton, to see if that is the problem. I've uninstalled the Nvidia drivers (with the uninstall tool), then reinstalled the newest. It still crashes.I have to hold the power button to get it off the BSOD, then restart. None of my other games have caused this (that I've encountered).
I have 5 email addresses. When I click on Accounts in the Mail Tile I have to click on each account to find unread mail. Isn't there a way to show all email accounts in one pane with unread mail noted or do you simply have to work your way through all five "Accounts".
I have been unable to open the money tile since converting to Windows 10 (it opened once for a day and then stopped). I click on the tile and the program appears in the start line but it won't open.
My computer has just been updated to the latest build (version 1511 (build 10586) and the search tile has now vanished from the start screen. How can I replace it?
Ever since I updated to windows 10 mobile build 10572, live tiles doesn't seems to be working for most of the apps. I thought a hard reset may resolve this issues but even after that the problems still persist.
