That Advanced setting did the trick for me. Apologies for missing it in there, I was looking at all the "Disable ..." settings. :/

This is definitely an unusual setup, so having an option buried in advanced settings seems like a reasonable forever solution.

Originally, I sort of hoped disabling the one taskbar would populate that split's windows to the "next" split on that monitor, but defining "next" seems a bit hard to nail down for anything beyond a simple 2-way split. As you said, per-monitor disabling of taskbars for splits would also work for my layout, depending on feasability.

Regardless, I have exactly what I want currently. XD

Thanks for the quick response, and take care!

Ah sorry, just noticed you want the taskbars to respect the splits on the primary monitor. There isn't a way to control that per-monitor unfortunately

You can enable the

"Taskbar: Show Duplicate Taskbar Prompt (Win8)"

option in the Settings > Advanced Settings window to have it stop prompting.

We should probably also take the

"(Win 8)"

out of that setting name

In the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window, if you disable the "Taskbar" checkbox in the "Use these features with split monitors" section, then you'll get a single taskbar at the bottom of each monitor, regardless of the split configuration. The taskbar will show all windows on that monitor

Attaching an image detailing my desired multi-monitor taskbar setup, for clarity.

When DisplayFusion starts, the following warning is displayed.

"The Windows multi-monitor taskbar is currently enabled and may cause issues when the DisplayFusion Multi-Monitor Taskbar is enabled. Would you like to disable the Windows multi-monitor taskbar?"

I have managed to acheive my desired multi-monitor taskbar setup with a combination of DisplayFusion and Windows 10 both with multi-monitor enabled, and do not wish to take any action. I can preserve my setup by closing the warning window, but I'm curious if the warning can be silenced on start-up.

As to my desired taskbar setup, I have 2 physical monitors with the primary split horizontally and secondary split vertically. I want the DisplayFusion multi-monitor mode to add a second taskbar on my primary split (showing relevant windows). For the secondary monitor, I only want a single taskbar between the two splits showing relevant windows for both splits. The Windows taskbar provides this behavior (as Windows doesn't know about the splits), where-as DisplayFusion will only show the windows for the split that has the taskbar.

To my knowledge I cannot get a single taskbar on the Secondary monitor to display windows from all splits on that monitor with DisplayFusion taskbar, even with the taskbars for other splits disabled. If possible, I could disable the Windows 10 multi-monitor and silence the warning that way.
