That has always worked just fine for me.
-
I don't do anything special. I've got UAC set to lowest level (elevate automatically without prompt) on my workstation (but it's still enabled).
-
Got An Exception of type EJwsclPrivilegeException was raised. (Data was given by programmer and can vary from actual source.) Source method....: JwEnablePrivilege Source class.....: (global) Source file......: JwsclToken.pas Source line......: 0 Message : Privilege SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege is not available. during install on my Windows 8.1 box. Should the opacity sliders be disabled in High Contrast mode?
-
Turned out I just had to run the setup through Control Panel > Install Application on Remote Desktop Server.
-
When I try to update StartIsBack+ on one of my Server 2012 R2s, I get the message "This version of StartIsBack is not intended for this Windows version." (it updated fine on the other server).
-
All users (upgrade), and it happened at the end of install (which seems to have succeeded).

Unlikely - Tihiy is in full control of Start Menu drawing, but that doesn't mean he can control other windows.
-
I have an empty item under "Right side items" on Server 2012 R2: Is this because Metro isn't installed by default on Server?
-
I can trigger Start Menu translucency if I update graphic driver, too.
-
I still have a problem with Start Menu sometimes becoming translucent when I log on locally after being connected through Remote Desktop, despite using a high contrast theme, and having "Disable Start Menu transparency" checked.
-
Go to Preferences -> Appearance and choose the first Start Menu flag - that's the original 8.1 button.
-
I noticed a small problem: sometimes when I log in locally after I was connected over remote desktop, Start Menu background is transparent, even though I'm using a high contrast theme.
-
BTW, Everything at Once doesn't work for me - nothing happens when I hold down the Windows key.
-
Sometime in the future.
-
I lost Start Menu again and had to restart Explorer.exe to get it back.
-
Correct.
-
Standard taskbar on secondary monitor is enabled. Switching off 'Enable all edges on secondary monitors' makes Start Menu work on secondary monitor (though I'm undecided if I like it opening there). I'm not running any shell enhancement software.
-
BTW, my secondary monitor doesn't open Start Menu bug seems 100% reproducible - today I again can't open the menu with keyboard if window on secondary monitor has focus.
-
Windows 8.1 x64 RTM (original install was English [upgrade from 8], with Slovenian language pack added, UI set to Slovenian). At the moment, if the active window is mostly on my secondary monitor, pressing the Windows key on keyboard doesn't open Start Menu (the key is still registered in programs that hook it, but even if I open eg. Notepad, drag it to the second screen and press the Windows key on keyboard, nothing happens; Ctrl+Windows does open Start Screen). I'm not sure if this'll still happen if I reboot/restart Explorer - if there's anything you want me to try, I can do so before I power off for the night in about 2 hours. While testing this, I also noticed another problem: sometimes when I open Start Menu and then close it (with keyboard), the active window will change (as if I pressed Alt+Tab).
-
Another problem I noticed: often when focus is on my second monitor, Windows key (on keyboard) doesn't do anything when I press it (Ctr+Win still opens Start Screen though).
-
Two more problems I noticed (Win8 x64 RTM): - twice so far Start menu wouldn't respond to down arrow keys when I opened it - yesterday Start menu just disappeared, and the regular Start button (which opened Start screen) was back - had to restart Explorer to get StartIsBack+ back
-
Same problem happened here until I actually set an account picture.
-
I noticed one problem with StartIsBack+: sometimes when I open Start Menu and press down arrow, the first item in right column gets highlighted instead of the first item in left column. I'm not sure how to reproduce this reliably - it seems to happen every now and then (just enough that I can't rely on muscle memory to press Win, Down, Enter to open the top pinned item).

Why waste resources on a more than a decade old OS that has less than a year of support left?
