Latest Version of StartMenuX ver 5.44 pro (64bit) has resolved problems with StartMenuX not showing up correctly on multiple displays/monitors.

Thanks for suggestions and following up.


Yes, it did fix that specific problem. However it did not fix the problem if the Start Button is not replaced. The Windows 8 Start Page still opens over the top of the Start Menu X window on the Primary monitor if the taskbar is in any position other than the bottom position. I notified Denys about this again. ]]> RE: DF 7.2 Beta 4: Windows 8.1.1 x64 Start Menu X window opens on main Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#15 Mon, 11 May 2015 17:56:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#15 DisplayFusion Latest Version of StartMenuX ver 5.44 pro (64bit) has resolved problems with StartMenuX not showing up correctly on multiple displays/monitors.

Do you guys have the "Replace the system start button" option enabled in Start Menu X?


Yes, I always have had the "Replace the system start button" option enabled since my first installation of Start Menu X which occurred many versions of Start Menu X and DisplayFusion ago.

For a test, I disabled this option and the Start Menu X window does open on the proper monitor. However, on my primary monitor, if I place the task bar in any position other than the bottom position, the Start Menu X window opens and immediately the Start page opens. If I "esc", the Start page closes and the Start Menu X window is still open and active. The attached video shows this occurrence. ]]> RE: DF 7.2 Beta 4: Windows 8.1.1 x64 Start Menu X window opens on main Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#7 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 19:54:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#7 DisplayFusion Do you guys have the "Replace the system start button" option enabled in Start Menu X? ]]> RE: DF 7.2 Beta 4: Windows 8.1.1 x64 Start Menu X window opens on main Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#6 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 19:54:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-72-beta-4-windows-811-x64-start-menu-x-window-opens-on-main-monitor/?ID=4e470231-74af-4d5f-9829-2faa7a0d975d#6 DisplayFusion I am also having the same exact problem.

  • Restart DisplayFusion
