I'm using Windows 10 with WinStep Extreme as my desktop environment. In my NextStart taskbar, I have hotspots that trigger static menus. These menus remain on the screen after executing a command. I have unchecked the "Always keep this menu above other windows" option for these hotspots in the Preferences/Hotspots/Hotspot Wizard settings.

When I disable the autohide feature on the NextStart taskbar, the menus behave as expected and do not launch in "Always on Top" mode. However, when I enable autohide on the NextStart taskbar, the menus launch in "Always on Top" mode, and I have to manually toggle off this setting. This behavior is consistently observed.

It's worth noting that I also have the Windows taskbar set to show, but I'm unsure if this detail is relevant to the issue. Can you provide any insights or suggestions to resolve this matter?

Not quite sure I understood what the real problem is? Is it the menus remaining on the screen after executing a command? If so, you are changing the wrong setting. Or is it something to do with 'always on top'? Please clarify.
