IE, some applications install extra menus and handlers as part of the windows shell.
Particularly, some such extensions may fight with each other - you can have one installed, or the other, but not both.
  I use the tortoiseGIT extension to integrate git into explorer, and a lot of the bugs it has seen over the years, have really been work-arounds to survive OTHER broken explorer extensions.
  My point being, the problem may come from one of your staple applications, not from the fresh window install(?).</text></comment>

And alt tabbing doesn&amp;#x27;t work properly, I have to manually click on the windows in the overlay. My taskbar is always on top of windows, and they don&amp;#x27;t respect it&amp;#x27;s space so they just go under it and hide important stuff. Except firefox, which does respect the taskbar&amp;#x27;s space on a non-primary monitor, obviously leaving the space, but on the main screen it overlaps the taskbar entirely.</text></comment>
