I recently had to do a reinstall of Windows 11 due to my not knowing that I shouldn't install NVIDIA driver updates from NVIDIA but I should get them from Dell. Apparently Dell has to tweak the NVIDIA drivers to accommodate their motherboard. The last NVIDIA update I took made my screen flash constantly. I couldn't click on any icon or do anything. Same with safe mode. I could boot into the BIOS which is how I managed to do the reinstall. Prior to the reinstall, when I clicked on the Start Menu icon the Start Menu came up and I could type in the search bar and the Start Menu would stay where it originally opened up. Since the reinstall, as soon as I click on the search bar, the Start Menu moves down and left. The two attached screen caps show the before clicking, after clicking positions. Is there some setting I can set to not make this happen? Its annoying. The reason I think there might be a setting to adjust is that this did NOT happen prior to my reinstalling Windows 11. I don't have access to any site where I can post a short video showing this but I can make such a video if someone can guide me as to how to upload it to a site you can see it on (I don't do social media). Instead, I posted two 'static' screen caps, before and after clicking on the search bar.
- Windows Build/Version
