Windows 8.1 Overriding StartIsBack+ sometimes

This is an odd one. After a complete reinstall of Windows 8.1, StartIsBack 1.0.5 just won't work properly. Quite often Windows will override the Start button when clicked. This can happen 2-10 times in a row, and then suddenly focus will switch to StartIsBack+ instead. Pressing the Windows key always brings up the StartIsBack+ menu. Getting kinda annoyed with this, anyone got a solution for a fix perhaps? I think I might have been running StartIsBack+ 1.0.4 before this, had no issues then. But there is no official download available for this version, unfortunately.

Can you select non-default start button and see what happens when you point to bottom left corner?

Didn't work. But it did let me see when Windows overrides SiS, because when I point at the Start button it will fade into the original Win 8.1 button if SiS isn't working.

What didn't work, did start button change? Most likely you have bottom-left corner enabled, uncheck it at Switching page.

Yes thank you, that seemed to be it.
