This month’s feature upgrade for Microsoft Windows 11 is creating problems for certain people, since the Start menu vanishes as soon as you linger over it, due to a clash with widgets wanting to show at the very same moment. 

The upgrade included a preview option for Android applications on the Microsoft Store, as well as dark mode in Notepad and the reintroduction of Windows Media Player, among other things. 

However, an increasing number of people are experiencing problems with the Start menu, which appears to be in contradiction with the widgets on the Taskbar. 

In our experiments, we discovered the very same difficulty, however hitting the Windows key to prevent the Start menu from vanishing, rather than using the mouse to click on the menu icon, seems to solve the issue. 

It’s an annoying glitch, and it prompts the question, “Why wasn’t this corrected before this month’s update?” Ever since the release of Windows 11 in June last year, both the Taskbar and the Start menu have undergone divisive modifications. 

This problem will not improve things – witnessing the Start menu vanish, particularly whenever you want to rapidly open an application or a file, will irritate many users. 

Microsoft, which is known for products like Office 365, is conscious of the flaw, so we may not even have to wait very long for the next repair. However, at a point when a significant modification to a function that has been in Windows for nearly 30 years is rendered ineffective due to a fault, it’s not going to be a strong advertisement for Windows 11. 

As a result, Microsoft, which is known for products like Microsoft Teams, must move quickly to ensure that anything like this will not occur in the next release upgrade for all users. However, if you are having the same or similar problems, please notify the corporation using the Feedback Hub.
