Before reporting your issue

• I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
• I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
• I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

Repro Windows Versions

3rd party tweak software installed

Open-Shell (Disabled)

Windowblinds 11 (Set to default theme)
Winearo Tweaker (Only changing Startup Sound)
Classic Windows 10 Task Manager
Classic Paint
Classic Notepad
Classic games
Classic Sticky Notes
Desktop Gadgets Revived (Hidden)

Describe the bug

1. Install the relevant version of EP on the relevant version of Windows 11.
2. Set Taskbar and Start menu style to Windows 10
3. Set Start button style to Windows 11 (Default)
4. Set App List to "Hide"
5. Set Corner Preferences to Rounded corners, Docked menu
6. Open the start menu by either pressing the windows key or clicking the start button.

Expected outcome

The start menu should appear above or below the taskbar, like it does when taskbar location on screen is set to bottom.

Actual outcome

The start menu appears layered under or on top of the taskbar (it seems to randomly vary between under and on top)

Try switching it to the reimplemented taskbar by opening your start menu and search for Properties (ExplorerPatcher), then click on taskbar style and select Windows 10 (ExplorerPatcher) and restart explorer and check if that issue is still present
(sorry for the late response)
