Start menu not displaying correctly (Windows 10)

ProXjakester

Don't know if its related, but since installing my second graphics card my Windows 10 start menu doesn't display properly. Sometimes it's transparent, sometime nothing opens, sometimes its messed up like the image I've attached bellow

try using DDU to uninstall all graphics drivers and reinstall them

if it doesnt fix the problem then its something messed up in windows and you will need to clean install to fix it

As the start menu is fully GPU rendered, it could be a driver bug.

Try older drivers. Some people solved their problem using much older drivers available.

Yea I agree, now that you mentioned this, re-install. Just don't forget to backup your stuff before.

Thankfully shouldn't be too hard. Have installed windows on a seperate partition so all should be okay - Will still back up the important stuff for sure
