We haven't been able to reproduce it any more here since Beta 9/10. ]]> RE: Flickering Taskbar/Start Button? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#12 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 00:03:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#12 DisplayFusion I am having the same issue after updating to 20h2, mostly when using edge, watching videos and moving the window to other monitor. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall graphics driver with no success. ]]> RE: Flickering Taskbar/Start Button? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#11 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 02:13:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#11 DisplayFusion I started having this issue a couple patches ago however I think I found what the issue was for me and wanted to post it just it case this helps anyone else.

I had entered a compatibility setting for chrome when I had a issue with fullscreen chrome covering the taskbar.

I have removed my compatibility setting for chrome I am no longer getting the flickering taskbar issue and I think the fullscreen issue was fixed a couple of patches ago. ]]> RE: Flickering Taskbar/Start Button? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#10 Wed, 18 Nov 2020 20:56:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#10 DisplayFusion Hello. I just wanted to also add in that I upgraded to Windows update 20H2 a couple of days ago as well and my DF taskbars also started constantly disappearing and reappearing kinda like they're being restarted in the background. It is highly annoying. ]]> RE: Flickering Taskbar/Start Button? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#9 Wed, 18 Nov 2020 16:25:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#9 DisplayFusion Hi, I am having the same issue, it all started after I upgraded to 20H2, it has got so bad that I have had to close the app. I am on the latest version of the DisplayFusion with Windows 10 Pro.

Though where before the start flag would more blink grey it's now blinking grey and flickering grey.

The taskbar is also flickering like it's being redrawn at random time increments. Seems to be more apparent when I'm in Chrome?

Logs attached. ]]> RE: Flickering Taskbar/Start Button? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#6 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 19:41:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-taskbarstart-button/?ID=21e9975d-52b9-4325-90a9-57ce223dd167#6 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Just upgraded my PC to an i7-10700k and am having problems with the taskbar flickering like it's being redrawn sporadically. Seems to happen more often when using Chrome but I've seen this with PPT, Outlook, Explorer, discord, etc.

The start button is also turning black and then back to white. Usually around the same time the taskbar decides to flicker. If I click it when it's turned black it opens on the left window or not at all. (DF taskbar is right window)

Tried the newest beta, same problem. Log attached.

Note this is a pretty fresh install of Windows with really only spotify, Creative Cloud, office, and some game clients installed so I don't think there's any startup problems... ]]>
