What I noticed today is that it is not the case from the beginning. As long as I only work on the main screen, I have no problem. But as soon as I open the start menu on the second screen for the first time, the start menu on the main screen gets stuck behind the taskbar. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#22 Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:16:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#22 DisplayFusion Could you clear the log and grab a fresh one, and note the time when you first press the start button or Windows key to open the menu? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#21 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 21:20:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#21 DisplayFusion Here you go, time doesn't matter, it's permanent. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#20 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 13:18:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#20 DisplayFusion Could you send me an updated debug log from the beta? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#19 Wed, 18 Sep 2024 14:55:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#19 DisplayFusion I'm back home today and have installed the update and there's no difference to before. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#18 Tue, 27 Aug 2024 17:43:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#18 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that should fix this up, you can grab it here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Is this happening on both taskbars or just the secondary taskbar? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#8 Wed, 10 Jul 2024 18:48:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#8 DisplayFusion Ah, I see.

With the setting you currently have set, if your Windows taskbar is not set to autohide, it will reveal the taskbar but won't actually have the work area set, so it won't adjust the start menu to be above the taskbar. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#6 Tue, 09 Jul 2024 16:41:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#6 DisplayFusion Um... where exactly do I find this setting? In Windows, or in DisplayFusion?

edit: By the way, it also happens if I don't hide the taskbar at all. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#5 Tue, 09 Jul 2024 14:17:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#5 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over. If you set your taskbar to normal auto hide, instead of "Enabled, shown with Windows taskbar", does the issue still happen? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#4 Mon, 08 Jul 2024 16:54:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#4 DisplayFusion So no idea how I can prevent this behavior? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#3 Fri, 05 Jul 2024 17:17:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-behind-the-taskbar-win11/?ID=01908325-7099-75af-8fd7-286ea966280d#3 DisplayFusion Sure, here it comes. ]]>
