Center Alignment of Windows 10 Start Menu is Incorrect

[XiaoTDM]

Translated from Chinese!

When Windows 10 Start Menu is set to center alignment and hide App List, the alignment is not correct when switching between Pinned Tiles and App List

Please post windows version and build. You can find this by running winver.
Please post explorer patcher version.

Please include what settings you changed in explorer patcher properties application. These should be screen shots. If you can, please change it to english first.

Please include any other software you have installed that modifies the UI of windows.

Windows ver 23H2 - 22631.3880
ExplorerPatcher ver 22621.3880.66.2
Properties:

1. StartAllBack has been installed but disabled. It may not have an impact.
2. Old New Explorer. Because it was built in Windows 10 and hasn't been updated for a long time, it has no effect on Windows 11.
3. Translucent Flyouts. GitHub Page

This issue is that the menu is not aligned correctly when switching between the app list and pinned tiles.
In addition, triggering a pop-up menu will cause the menu to be re-centered when the menu is not properly aligned.

Thank you.

Let's try a few things:

1. Uninstall Translucent Flyouts (https://github.com/ALTaleX531/TranslucentFlyouts/) and see if it is still happening.
2. Uninstall Old New Explorer and see if it is still happening
3. In the EP properties application, go to About and click on Restore default settings. Then reboot. And see if it is still happening.
4. Uninstall EP, reboot, and see if it is still happening.

Hello!
After trying, the above three methods have no effect.
As for uninstalling EP, this is not feasible because the Windows 10 menu is restored through it.
I think the problem may be with EP itself, because in vanilla Windows 10 there was no start menu center alignment, and now the center alignment effect is modified by EP.

thank you, Please wait for a developer to respond.

I've been thinking of finding another method to do this because shifting the whole start menu's internal "window" isn't really a good idea. This makes the shadow not appearing on the left side, so it's a bit jarring, among with other issues like yours. Though this is not in my priority right now because this isn't functionality breaking.

So you mean that the start menu centering is achieved by moving the "window" of the start menu directly to the center of the screen?
Then the absence of shadows on the left side of the menu can also be explained.
But I'm curious why it does not automatically center the alignment when I switch views, and I need to manually trigger the pop-up menu to align?
