PRE release 4.4.200 causes unstable task views in Windows 11 #2532
Description
Describe the bug
Installed the pre release 4.4.200 and subsequently had issues with the task view option in Windows 11. For instance clicking on the start menu Button caused the task view to be Displayed rather than the main screen. This problem does that happen all the time. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what the exact cause might be. Then I reinstalled 4.4.198 And the problem went away. This did not only affect the start menu but also affected the right on the my computer icon, as well as on the main screen. I do not have the multiple task view button enabled.
Area of issue
Start menu
To reproduce
- Click on the Start menu. Sometimes this will cause the multiple task view to be displayed. When this happens clicking again on the start menu closes The multiple task view.
- right clicking On the My Computer icon also the multitask view to be displayed.

Just to be sure, does installing
4.4.200cause the issue again?Do you use other 3rd party customization software?
What do you mean by that?
Open-Shelldoesn't do anything with My Computer icon.Maybe post a screenshot and highlight what icon do you mean?
What do you mean by that?
Can you post screenshot of your taskbar (and eventually show where you are clicking)?
