Yeah, it's not ideal for sure. There is a Classic Shell fork called "Open-Shell" now, and we've just added support for that in DisplayFusion 9.4 Beta 2. It has the same bugs as Classic Shell obviously, but if they continue to develop it, and since it's now fully open source, we might be able to work with them to fix some of them up :)


Good news :)

So basically, it's boiling down to an issue with the way DisplayFusion is working with Classic Shell, but since Classic Shell is being discontinued, it's not really worth the (probably immense) trouble to fix DisplayFusion to play nicely with CS?

Kind of a shame Classic Shell is being shut down, I really like the looks and function of it. :-( ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#21 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:56:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#21 DisplayFusion Also looks like since Classic Shell is no longer being developed, it will stop working with the next release of Windows 10 :(

I've been testing with Classic Start Menu on a test machine and haven't had any issues, but I normally run Start10 on my main machine. I'll try switching to Classic Shell on my main machine to see if I can get this to happen after a while as well. ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#19 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 08:52:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#19 DisplayFusion Sorry for delay :/

And yes "of course"it does not work correctly after a while. ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#18 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:11:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#18 DisplayFusion Ok, that's the same behaviour I'm seeing here as well. If memory serves me correctly, we tried to fix the blink a long time ago and it wasn't possible to do.

Will it go back to not opening correctly again after some time? ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#17 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:25:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#17 DisplayFusion With fresh boot of DF yes :) ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#16 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:22:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#16 DisplayFusion Ok, so it still gives a blink when opening, but it stays open now? ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#15 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:08:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#15 DisplayFusion Hi,

From the log it looks like DisplayFusion is failing to get the Start menu handle sometimes. Could you restart DisplayFusion, open the Start menu once, then attach a new copy of the log? I'd like to see if it looks any different after just the first attempt to open it. ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#13 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 19:46:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#13 DisplayFusion Hi, it take me a seconds to make it so don't know if that sufficient but it happen at 21h44.

For you'r information I noticed that if display fusion window is open, issue never happen, but if I reduce it to bottom right bar, it happen each time on second/third monitor.

And for me no need to have anything in fullsreen ]]> RE: Classic Start Menu - Start Menu issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#12 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 19:12:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-start-menu-start-menu-issue/?ID=942c0e58-8897-4f5a-8e2e-a6b29e43c34d#12 DisplayFusion Still no luck reproducing the issue here with your DisplayFusion and Classic Shell settings :(
