I followed your instructions and disabled NVDIA helper processes and after the restart the issue was resolved.

If they are could you try the following?
  • In the Advanced Settings, make sure the "Don't check NVIDIA processes" option is disabled (set it the option marked "default")
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Choose yes when prompted to disable the NVIDIA helper processes
  • Restart the computer

After I installed second card the center taskbar is "hovering" at the bottom, I see the wallpaper under the center taskbar. Sometimes the DF taskbars will do the same thing and hover one taskbar height above the bottom.

Then for the start menu when I click on it from the center monitor the menu will appear on my left screen at the top left corner.

See attached images...

Thank you for your time and help. ]]>
