Hi Puter.


You could try this -


Make the Start Menu bar Auto Hide so it only pops up when you move your mouse over 
it or press the Windows icon key on your keyboard (if it has one).

Start
Settings
Taskbar and Start Menu
check mark - Auto Hide

In order for the mouse to activate the hidden Start Menu Bar - make your open windows 
shorter at the top.

Move the mouse over the edge of an open window until you see an up and down arrow. 
Left click, hold, and drag the window size down about 1/ 8 or 1/4 inch.

Then click and hold somewhere on the open window menu bar and drag the open window 
down towards the bottom of your screen but where you can still see the entire window.

Now when you want your Start Menu Bar, just put the mouse at the top of your screen 
and the Start Menu Bar will pop into view.

OR -

Without shortening your open Windows, if you have a Windows keyboard, you will see 
a Windows icon key (2nd key bottom row on the left). Press that key and the hidden 
Start Menu Bar will pop into view.

This works no matter what side of the screen you place your Start Menu Bar.


Take care,

Linda
