In the Settings > Advanced Settings, you can use the "Taskbar: Clock Text" option to customize the clock. Try something like this: hh:mm:ss ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#11 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 19:59:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#11 DisplayFusion Woo, that fixed it! The Start menu is working perfectly now. Thanks a lot. Just a small note, I didn't have to restart DisplayFusion, it started working as soon as I moved the button to the top.

One more (minor) question; how do I show the seconds on the clock on the DF taskbar? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#10 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 19:53:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#10 DisplayFusion Yep, that did the trick! The issue seems to be related to the Start button being on the bottom of the left-side taskbar. If you position the Start buttons on the top of the taskbar and then restart DisplayFusion, is everything working? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#9 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:35:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#9 DisplayFusion Here you go. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#8 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 19:34:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#8 DisplayFusion Strange indeed! Can you attach a backup of your DisplayFusion Settings as well?

Really strange how you can't seem to replicate it using my settings. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#6 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 17:46:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#6 DisplayFusion You're good, that's what I was looking for

I restored those settings and still haven't had any trouble. Could you send me a screenshot of what your Start menus look like when they're broken? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#5 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 23:22:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#5 DisplayFusion Here you go. (I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, because it doesn't really seem to contain enough data for all the settings, but I couldn't find another way to generate a file like this. Let me know if I did something wrong haha.) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#4 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 19:22:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#4 DisplayFusion Thanks! I've tested this here and haven't run into any trouble. Could you backup your Classic Shell settings and attach them here? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#3 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 22:24:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-displayfusion-and-classic-start-menu/?ID=6c4d9738-b480-4cd5-9ac6-dd6cb9d8f413#3 DisplayFusion Thanks for the reply.

I'm using three programs:

- DisplayFusion Pro
- Classic Start Menu
- Taskbar Magic

I'm using Taskbar Magic to hide the Windows taskbar and replace it with the DisplayFusion taskbar, so the taskbars on both monitors are identical.

When I open the Classic Start Menu on any DisplayFusion taskbar (in my case, this is either of them), the start menu is just empty. Anything I pin to it is not visibly pinned. It works fine on the Windows taskbar (if I enable it again), but not the DisplayFusion taskbars.

This is really irritating, because I love using these three programs to make the taskbars so much better, but it's completely unusable because of this one stupid bug.

Anyone got any ideas?

I also asked this on Reddit, for any Googlers who might have this problem and can't find the answer:
