If you turn on "Enable Prompt to Restart Explorer when Issue Detected" in the Advanced Settings, do you get the prompt when the issue happens? ]]> RE: Windows 11 - windows maximizing behind DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#11 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 02:55:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#11 DisplayFusion

Is there any fix besides restarting explorer within task manager?

Thanks for your time. ]]> RE: Windows 11 - windows maximizing behind DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#8 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 15:49:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#8 DisplayFusion Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info?

After every restart I have to restart explorer manually. I have a chrome tab that I always use on my secondary monitor and I keep forgetting about this and the downloads are showing up behind the bar, so I can't see them. I keep thinking something is wrong because my downloads aren't showing up, then I remember. ]]> RE: Windows 11 - windows maximizing behind DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#6 Mon, 27 Jun 2022 14:42:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#6 DisplayFusion Okay strange, beta 16 should be showing a prompt to restart explorer when the issue happens. Have you seen that prompt at all?

When the issue happens, if you restart explorer.exe, does that fix it up?

Thanks!


Oh, sorry for the long delay in responding. Yes, after manually restarting the explorer process it seems to work fine. ]]> RE: Windows 11 - windows maximizing behind DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#4 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:05:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#4 DisplayFusion When the issue happens, if you restart explorer.exe, does that fix it up?

Hi Joe,

Are you using Start11 as well?

Thanks!


No, once I went to 10 on a new computer I stopped using the classic start menu stuff.

This used to only be an intermittent issue on Win 11, now I can't get it to work correctly. I have restarted a few times now and get the same result. ]]> RE: Windows 11 - windows maximizing behind DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#2 Fri, 10 Jun 2022 18:20:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-11-windows-maximizing-behind-df-taskbar/?ID=43c47fa0-ff1d-49a2-b16a-d0cff2cac8b5#2 DisplayFusion Hi Joe,

When I maximize a window on my second monitor that is using the DF taskbar, the window maximizes behind the taskbar.

I am running Windows 11 with DF 10.0 Beta 16. ]]>
