I found that the nvsmartmaxapp and nvsmartmaxapp64 processes were running. I killed them and it appears to have resolved both issues.

Have I misunderstood the expected DF setting? Is DF meant to kill those processes? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#8 Sat, 09 Sep 2023 05:32:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#8 DisplayFusion Apologies for making this thread a zombie, but I've been having this same issue forever. After the recent update didn't automagically address it I figured I'd come looking for a fix. As it happens, I found that I already have "Don't Check nVidia Processes" changed from the default value to "won't prompt you to disable..." So that isn't my solution.
I've attached a copy of the troubleshooting info. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#7 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 19:59:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#7 DisplayFusion Haha, glad to hear it! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#6 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 17:41:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#6 DisplayFusion Success, Brilliant, Wonderful, Amazing, Grateful, ...... add any suitable words to express my gratitude!!! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#5 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 20:00:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#5 DisplayFusion Thanks! It looks like this is due to the NVIDIA helper processes running, which interfere with DisplayFusion's monitor splitting feature. Could you try the following?

• In the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window, disable the "General: Don't Check nVidia Processes" option.
• Restart DisplayFusion and it should prompt to disable the NVIDIA helper processes, choose yes.
• Reboot your machine.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#4 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 20:10:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#4 DisplayFusion It is happening on all monitors. I have 3 monitors. The central monitor is my primary where the default taskbar lives.

When I click on the System Tray Menu - "Show Hidden Icons" button on any monitor, the hidden icons are displayed always on the centre monitor. Then when I right-click on any of the hidden icons, its context menu is shown behind the Hidden Icons display so I can't easily read it. Very annoying. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#3 Sat, 21 Jan 2017 19:56:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-context-menu-behind-system-tray-menu/?ID=598f9ab7-6c06-4d0b-980e-7fed01234e2d#3 DisplayFusion Here you are.

Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?

• Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
