| I think, the area where the arrow is should be made much bigger and maybe a contrasting color for the separator. When touch features are enabled in the menu (Windows 8 and up), the Shutdown button can get much bigger if the skin specifies it. For the skin I use on a daily basis, I have made its Shut... |

| Ohh can you give more details anyway to help others facing the same issue? Or simply uninstalling and reinstalling GPU drivers fixed it? That seems odd, some configuration change must be happening with the driver reinstall that fixes the issue. |

Are you talking about the Frequently used/Recently used area in the main Start Menu? I don't remember folder shortcuts there, only app/program shortcuts.
Where exactly is your "Banking and Retail" folder located and is there a pinned shortcut to it in the Start menu? |

Change the style to Windows 7 style first from leftmost tab and then you'll be able to set the default Shutdown command.
If you want to use Classic styles, go to Customize Start Menu tab and double click "Shutdown" in the left column and change the command. |

Tablet mode is controlled by the operating system, so while switching between Tablet mode and Desktop mode, some inconsistency between which menu opens is to be expected.
Just press the Win key once to close the wrong menu after toggling Tablet mode. |
