Classic Shell: Forum

Any time I play a full screen game the start button shows through and prevents full screen features such as vibration settings and such from working. It also naturally drops my frame rates because I am technically not in full screen mode and only one of my 2 video cards is being used.

Many users have reported this problem but they just post this much info and don't follow through with the troubleshooting.

To troubleshoot this, please give us as much information as possible about everything on your computer that may be causing this issue.

- What is your version of Windows? 32-bit or 64-bit?
- What version of Classic Shell?
- What games are you playing that cause this issue? What version of DirectX do they use?
- What GPU do you have? Do you have the latest drivers for your GPU installed?
- Do you have any app installed (or drivers) that might be interfering with the taskbar or Start button or making them "Always on top" of other programs? Any custom theming apps or other apps that change the Z-order of windows?
- Have you chosen the option to replace the Start button in Classic Shell? What happens if you use the default button?
- Any other software or hardware-specific configuration on your end that we need to replicate to exactly reproduce the issue?

Well I figured out my problem. I had to scrub my graphics drivers and re install them

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.
