Disable 'Blur Behind' Menu

Edwin said:

Now that you mention it, yes. I did also add the SystemUsesLightTheme DWORD with a value of 0.

(In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize create a SystemUsesLightTheme DWORD and set it's value to 0)

Oh, that looks so much better now.

??? Where's the logic behind that???
That's just more confusion in my opinion.

Logic ... you want logic? ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

MS set the policy, I figured it might explain why some people have to add the key while others don't.

Brink added a tut: Start Menu and Taskbar Blur - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

This sure is fun stuff, eh wot!

Your tweak in post #3 works like a charm Edwin, another good one would be the clock & calender.

PS: I gotta spread the rep around.

Still lookin into the clock!

Guys, has anyone been able to disable blur transparency in build 10158?
The registry key is missing just as in 10147. I'm a sad puppy right now, because I don't like the blurred transparency

Me neither!?

It's not that we can't enable/disable transparency, it's we can't get rid of the blur that comes with it

Build 10159 is all the same

I thought you might mean that. Darn, was hoping for an easy fix.

There's a post on the MS community forums re: 10.0.074 which is the reverse of your situation.

The start menu may not blur after user switches from start screen. - Microsoft Community

Things have changed since that build but the bread crumb suggests

try using full screen start (restart machine?) then not using full screen start (restart machine?)
