We haven't had a chance to fix it up yet, but on the Settings > Compatibility tab, you can add a rule for the affected application, and enable the "Force DisplayFusion to treat this application as full screen" option in the rule, to work around this issue.

Hope that helps!


Appreciate the response, but just for the record, I tried this tonight and it doesn't work for me. I get what is presumably the Windows task bar still, because I get just a single taskbar on my middle monitor that won't go away. Thanks for your quick responses and looking into this still though! ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#22 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 15:24:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#22 DisplayFusion We haven't had a chance to fix it up yet, but on the Settings > Compatibility tab, you can add a rule for the affected application, and enable the "Force DisplayFusion to treat this application as full screen" option in the rule, to work around this issue.

I have just tried this, but the center bar is still there. Do you guys think you can fix this, or do we really need Microsoft to fix it.

I think this might be causing the problem. I have done some additional testing and notice that the taskbar also stays active with borderless full screen windows if you have another application using always on top. While with another pc that I have here, which isn't updated to the anniversary edition, but also uses nvidia gpu (not surround though), I dont have this issue. Using borderless window with some other application always on top, just shows that application on top of the active window and the taskbar goes behind the active window as it should. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#9 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 17:35:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#9 DisplayFusion Please see attached.

One thing I'd like to mentioned (haven't continued this test), but while the taskbar is having these issues. If you have the program open, then disable the multi-taskbar option to use only the windows taskbar it seems to still cause the same problem. So I am forced to close the open application and then start it again with the multi-taskbar option already disabled. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#8 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 17:21:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#8 DisplayFusion Here it is. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#7 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:31:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#7 DisplayFusion Ok, I'd like to do some more testing on this here.

So if in Chrome, I tell Youtube to play full screen, it does this borderless and I get the taskbar on top and I can't use the controls.

As I almost always have a browser window open, it would mean I might as well have the taskbar option turned off. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#5 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:28:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#5 DisplayFusion We'll definitely look into this. In the meantime, if you create a Compatibility rule (Settings > Compatibility) for the affected games (you can put multiple game EXEs in, like this: *game1.exe|*game2.exe, or just specify your whole games directory like this: C:\games\*), in the rule, you can use the "Disable multi-monitor taskbars" option to have DisplayFusion automatically disable the taskbars when the games are running. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#4 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 20:05:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#4 DisplayFusion I can confirm that I have this issue as well.
When using proper fullscreen the taskbar does hide behind it, but there are certain programs that say they run full screen, but actually do a borderless window over all three screens.

Would be great if this could be sorted. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#3 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:03:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#3 DisplayFusion if you disable the display fusion taskbar everithing is ok, no taskbar over borderless games. ]]> RE: Windows 10+Nvidia Surround= Taskbar always over borderless windows. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#2 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:07:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10nvidia-surround-taskbar-always-over-borderless-windows/?ID=23060e88-087e-46ed-b6ed-ac1885751b25#2 DisplayFusion If you just disable the DisplayFusion taskbar feature before starting the game, does that also fix it?

I have Windows 10 and Nvidia Surround active card with 3 monitors. When I play a game with borderless window option, the windows taskbar is always on top, bu if I close first DisplayFusion, never happen. Please fix this, is very annoying.
