Research direction

Reproduce on ExplorerPatcher 70.2 with Windows 11 Pro 25H2 build 26200.8524, the Windows 10 Start menu enabled, and “register as shell extension” enabled. Trace the Start menu close path and shell-extension integration; done means closing the menu no longer shows a blank screen for two seconds before it disappears.
