If you updated Windows 10 to the latest version (1909 as of this writing), you might see that the Start menu auto-expands when you mouse over the menu icon. Windows does not have any option to change this default behavior. A command prompt tweak to disable the expand function is risky If you are really bothered by the menu auto-expanding, the only safe way is to uninstall the latest update.
