When the taskbar is on the bottom, it works fine. Start button is in the bottom left corner, and everything is as expected. But Microsoft, again, fucked up with the stupid start image popping for people who do not have their taskbars on the bottom. Mine is to the left. So I have a start button at the top; I also have a start button active corner to the bottom when my cursor goes there.

Anyway to remove this corner image?

Thanks in advance

i also liked 8 better without the start image. also looking for a way to disable it.

You could try StartIsGone:

StartIsGone removes the button entirely. I only want to remove the extra "hot corner" popup.

Yes i see what you mean now.

Bad news:
There is only one person on this forum who could help you with this problem, but don't hold your breath.

Install the free Classic Shell and set Disable hot corners setting to "Start screen"? Start button on the Taskbar and Win key can be set to open the Start screen, not the menu.
