Okay this is super annoying.. I've searched every single post and gotten literally no where... First tried the registry tweaks yet they already existed on both machines, aka;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced DWORD32 UseOLEDTaskbarTransparency = 1
&
HKEY_CURRENT _USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize DWORD32 EnableTransparency = 1
None of this works... Enable transparency is checked within personalize options, however it appears that some people have an option in windows for a check box that's located in personalize settings towards the bottom called "make start menu, taskbar, and action center transparent.."
Both my laptop and my desktop are missing this option, both were on 1803 now both are on 1903... See picture below, even when I search for the setting, Windows actually recognizes it AND brings me to the damn color page where the setting normally lives... Whats even crazier is on the laptop at least, when I unplug it from the wall, it switches into power saving mode automatically and makes the damn task bar completely transparent. Like ****... I thought I was going crazy so I ran a SFC scannow on both machines, no issues then ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth again with no issues...
The more I dug into this the more I found people online having the same issue being redirected to 3rd part software to make the **** start menu transparent.. Like WUT... We're 2019 Windows doesn't need 3rd part software to do something its been able to do for a decade+... I also read a post saying this setting has been moved to another location.. Yet I cannot find it nor does windows bring you to that place when you search and click the search result it finds.. It always brings you to Color within personalize... Can someone tell me whats going on? All the registry tweaks online already were in place and dont do anything changing them yet switching into power saving changes the transparency on the laptop... Where is Window pulling this setting from??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
