Using the Alt key does toggle the menu bar on or off for me and I am running the default RTM installs of Win11 Pro 22H2 on a Desktop and Notebook and Home on a second Desktop without much customization due to having to see what clients see.

pressing alt does nothing i have an almost identical machine with the same stuff installed and that one is fine pressing alt brings up the menu releasing it hides it

i give up my ocd cant handle having it there each time i open control panel
ill just do a fresh install again and check it after i install each UI Mod and see if anything causes it

only downside to a fresh install is i need to download 400gb of xbox/ms store games again :rolleyes:

How many? What are they?

I've heard of shell mods working against each other, even installed in the wrong order!

For instance:
I have QTTabBar installed..., this setting locks the shell hook, no other mod or function will deter it...

Noticed earlier that if the menu bar is turned on by the Alt key it can also be turned off with a simple mouse click anywhere in the Control Panel window. Works on both Win10 and Win11.
