Could you try enabling the "Taskbar: Invoke Start Menu using simulated click" option in the Settings > Advanced Settings window to see if that makes any difference? ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#11 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 16:38:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#11 DisplayFusion Ok, I'm wondering if something in your StartIsBack settings might be part of the issue. Could you export the following registry key and attach it?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack

If you could also export your DisplayFusion Settings (Settings > Options tab) and attach them as well, that would be excellent :)

Thanks! ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#10 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:52:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#10 DisplayFusion Same thing happened with both versions. The icon appears on the secondary monitor but clicking it does nothing. It has the same effect as clicking a random empty spot on the taskbar. ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#9 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 14:35:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#9 DisplayFusion Ok, would you be able to try updating to DisplayFusion 6.0.1 Beta 1 (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta), to see if maybe there's just something wonky with 6.0?

If that doesn't work, could you try 5.1.1 (http://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusion/DisplayFusionSetup-5.1.1.exe) as well?

According to the site that is the most recent version for Windows 8.1 ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#7 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 19:18:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#7 DisplayFusion Ok, strange! For some reason, DisplayFusion can't get the window handle for the Start menu. Which version of StartIsBack are you running? ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#6 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 19:16:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#6 DisplayFusion No, it still opens it on my primary monitor (even if I click somewhere on my secondary monitor). ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#4 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:03:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#4 DisplayFusion Thanks! If you move the mouse to the second monitor, and just press the Windows key on your keyboard, does it open the Start menu? ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#5 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:03:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#5 DisplayFusion Thanks!

I clicked a bunch of times at 9:53 and again at 9:54 (close to 9:55). ]]> RE: Start Button works on primary monitor's taskbar only https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#2 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:54:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-button-works-on-primary-monitors-taskbar-only/?ID=64be8b3a-4abe-4627-9737-953aba6d71c8#2 DisplayFusion It should definitely work with StartIsBack. If it still doesn't work after a reboot of your machine, could you send over a debug log?
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "Logging: Important Only"
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Click the Start button on the DF taskbar a few times, note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

It detects my version of start button (StartIsBack) and displays the Start button on both taskbars, but the start button on the secondary monitor's taskbar does not do anything. Clicking it is just like clicking a blank space on the taskbar. Any ideas? Can I get it so that StartIsBack works on both monitors? ]]>
