When your WPF menu alignment is wrong

I had a very weird problem where my menus on a WPF application were dropping down to the left instead of the normal to the right.

It turns out it is due to having a tablet setting set to right handed … even though I don’t have a tablet. The answer was found on the link at the bottom of this post.

To fix it:

Press the Windows key + R and then copy/paste the following line of text.

shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}

Press OK.

In the Tablet PC Settings configuration dialog select the “Other” Tab. In the Handedness section, place a check mark in the Left Handed option.

Click OK.

Fixed.

How can I get WPF menus to align like the old win forms menu?

How to find a missing Sonos

We recently purchased a Sonos Beam and hooked it up to 2 Sonos Play Ones we already had. It works really well and we are really pleased with it.

The TV still works with it but the application does not show the system - this is very frustrating.
