RAM Preview in Background w/ Windows Start Button?

on this one project while doing a RAM preview on 1080p comp with complex particle systems (it was reeeeeally slow on my computer), i noticed that the windows start menu button in the bottom left corner didnt disappear, so i clicked on it and the video continued rendering the RAM preview in the background while i was able to do anything on my computer that i could access from the start Windows start menu. i'm assuming this was a very convenient glitch? the button disappears on renders of less information processing so i'm assuming this wasnt supposed to happen.
has anyone else heard of this happening? if so, is there a way you know of intentionally making this option, to use the start button while rendering RAM preview, available every time?

i use other apps while after effects is open all the time, but i have never been able to use other apps while i have a RAM preview in progress, that is until i experienced this glitch thing. normally if it's doing a RAM preview, when i click on anything (or type on any key) it automatically stops the rendering and shows me the preview up to that point. is it normal to be able to use other applications while after effects is doing a RAM preview???

Firefox 4 download. Since, Windows start button options changed. Should be browser agnostic, can you please tell me how to fix this? While I love Firefox, this has me livid! (1 irony, Firfox is no longer in my Start button menu.)

I first noticed an issue when looking for something normally located in the Accessories folder of MS programs. What I found upon clicking on "All Programs" was not the program file/folder tree I expected but rather a direct list of all files in the Program Files folder. I then went to open a new session of Firefox to research that issue and noticed my basic Start button options were also changed. Now, even focus for event-driven events is not working correctly. Again, while I love Firefox, this needs to be fixed immediately or I will be forced to uninstall the product just to function.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

I recently lost the capability to "view" the "File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help" bar from the top of my screen, as well as the "Start" button on the bottom of the screen.

How do I get the "File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help Bar to appear on my browser. I also need my "Previous Page & Next Page" arrow... and my "Start" button to appear at the bottom of my screen. I can't navigate without these.

Be sure you are not in Full Screen Mode. The F11 key will toggle Full Screen Mode on or off. If you have no Firefox toolbars, tab bar, etc., you are probably in Full Screen Mode; your Windows Taskbar (with the "Start" button) will also not be visible.
*See --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
You can choose to use the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help'') or the Firefox button menu in Firefox 4 and newer versions.
*See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
The Back/Forward button (''Previous Page & Next Page" arrow'') are on the Navigation Toolbar; be sure the Navigation Toolbar is checked (to be displayed)
*See --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Back%20and%20forward%20or%20other%20toolbar%20items%20are%20missing
Windows Start button and Windows Taskbar:
*Be sure that "Auto-hide the taskbar" is '''''not checked''''' (if checked, moving the cursor pointer to the bottom of your monitor screen will cause it to slide up; it will disappear again when the cursor pointer is moved up from the bottom
*It is best to '''check''' "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" so that application windows like Firefox cannot cover it.

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

A720: After Windows 8.1 upgrade, Start Button doesn't work.

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo IdeaCentre A720, you cannot properly click the Start Button with a mouse. However, touching the screen works as expected.
If you put your mouse in the left-most corner of the screen, so the mouse is no longer visible, left-clicking switches between apps and right-clicking brings up the Start Button command menu.
You also cannot use the top-left corner of the screen to invoke the app-switching menu with a mouse. It never appears. However, swiping with a finger from the left-side of the screen works as expected.
It seems as though the screen is off alignment. It is preventing core features of the Windows 8 OS to be invoked with a mouse.
Please advise.

All,
Avast 2014 was introduced with many outstanding issues and your specific concern appears to be another one of many issues that the Avast team should have picked up before making Avast 2014 generally available. However, I can tell you that my Windows 8.1 Start Button does work properly and I can attest to the fact that their latest GA release (2014.9.0.2007) has fixed all the previous issues that were identified and posted at the Avast forums.
Also, since this latest version was first made available via a CNET download on 11/1/2013, it could just be that you missed that fix by just a few days. In any event, to ensure there are no conflicts when trying to update from v2006 to v2007, I would suggest the followiing:
Download aswclear and do a cleanuninstall:
http://www.avast.com/en-us/uninstall-utility
Then, download the latest Avast vesion here and see if your issue persists:
http://www.avast.com/index
If you still have an issue, you can use the Help> Support link to report your issue directly from within the Avast User Interface.
Good luck,

Windows 8.1 - Upgrade from 8, Start Button Does Not Work

I cannot find a fix for my 8.1 start button.
It works when I move the task bar to the top, right or left but not at the bottom. I ran all windows updates and there are no missing/unknown drivers in device manager. No errors in the event log. I've restarted multiple times and created a new local profile.
I've also tried:
Copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Any ideas? I would prefer not to do a clean install. Thanks in advance.

Could you please describe a little more detailed about “Start Button does not work”? What is the symptom?
Yes, when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, I cannot left click on the start button. The machine is also a touch-screen, which does work when I touch the start button. If I move the task bar to the left, right or top; the start button does work.
And what is the kind of the account, Domain? Local? Or both?
This is local machine.
It still doesn’t work in a new account?
Same issue happens with a new account.
What happens if you use win + "X"?
Win + "X" works fine; displays options.
Regarding to the “doesn’t work, both for screen touch and mouse?
Left-click via the mouse does not work. Touch works fine.
Can you try to copy the WinX folder from a working PC to your PC for a test?
I do not have another Windows 8.1 machine available to me.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Windows 8.1 Update 1 start button stucks after a time

Hi!
So, I installed windows 8 a long time ago, and recently (about 5 months) I installed 8.1.1.
Well, I loved it, but sometimes start button stops working. Just stuck. Nothing happens when I click.
The only way to make it work again is restarting explorer process in task manager, but I hate have to make it.
Win+X works.
What I do?

Hi，
If you have any 3 rd party programs (related with\simulate start button solution), please uninstall it as a test.
Do a virus scan to ensure the safety of your system.
And you mentioned that a restarted explorer solves this issue, seem some 3 rd party plug-ins cause this issue, so I suggest you use
Shellviewer to find these imcompatible shell extensions.

Hide/Disable Start Button in Windows 7

We are migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. In Windows XP, we can able to find the "Start" button handler and hide it from the user. But this functionality seems to be broken in Windows 7. i am using below code to disable start button, its not
disabling... its completely visible when i try to show the task bar.
Code Snippet:
IntPtr nShellTray = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", "");
IntPtr nStartButton = FindWindowEx(nShellTray, IntPtr.Zero, "Button", "Start");
//Windows 7 - No Text "Start" on Button
if (nStartButton.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
nStartButton = FindWindow("Button", null);
if (nShellTray != IntPtr.Zero && nStartButton != IntPtr.Zero)
ShowWindow(nStartButton, SW_HIDE);
ShowWindow(nShellTray, SW_HIDE);
}

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no official way to hide/disable start button. But we can use 3rd party software to remove start button.

My start button doesn't work in Windows Pro 8.1

I installed an Windows Pro 8 to 8.1 Pro x64 on a desktop computer. Both were clean installations, no other software was installed. With Window 8.1 Pro, the start button worked for a day after all the updates, then booted the computer. Now, if I try to right
click on the Start button with the mouse; nothing happens. Thinking it was a virus, I used Windows Defender to search to the for a virus and nothing found. No other Windows updates to fix the problem! To me it just another glitch in Windows!
I updated a laptop at the same time with Windows 8 to 8.1 X64, not the Pro version. The laptop was a OEM version of Windows 8. The laptop works fine with Windows 8.1 after upgrading it.

Hi,
Please try to copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
If it doesn't work, please run following command to repair system:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
If the issue persists, let's test the issue in New user account.
If all these steps doesn't fix your issue, please capture the actions during this process by using Process Monitor:

T410, Windows 7--start button and task bar frozen

I have had my new T410 (I7), with Windows 7, for two weeks. This morning I started the laptop and I could access the start button or the program icons on the task button. I called tech support in Atlanta, and was told I had a corrupt operating system and would have to reimage the hard drive which will require backing up my data and, after reimaging, reinstalling my programs and data. Is there any alternative to this royal pain? Bob

urgh, mine started freezing today. I have a T410s. It started off with Access Connections constantly freezing. I don't want to reimage my SSD

Start Button only Prompts Windows Power Options

Hello,
I have an odd issue whereby clicking the "Start" button does not bring up the Start Menu, but the Shut Down options menu pops up prompting me to either Shut Down, Reboot, Log Off, etc.
I removed any Group Policies in MMC associated with any profiles. I also removed the SID Folders within C:\windows\system32\GroupPolicyUsers.
What settings would change the behavior of the Start Menu?

Hi Brenton,
That is interesting that removing the Group Policy from MMC and the user's GP folder does not set the configured settings back to Not Configured. However, a reboot was performed after the removal, but I will inspect Policy settings once again during a Maintenance
Window tonight.
It is something that catches a lot of people. Group Policy is the "policy enforcer". So when you set a policy, like "set wallpaper to XYZ", it will make sure that the wall paper is XYZ. When you remove the group policy that tells the
wallpaper to be XYZ, it doesn't change it back to the original wallpaper, it just leaves it at XYZ and will allow the user to change it from that point forward.
This is also true for other policies on systems. Just because you remove the policy, it won't set things "back to default". You have to create a new Group Policy to set it "back to default", or manually set it back to default on the system
as described by MeipoXu.
