And I have multi monitor taskbar turned off for that. Also for some reason currently as I'm typing this, the issue is not occurring. All I've done is shut down my PC at the end of the night and reboot it this morning. But I've rebooted before only for the same issue to occur immediately. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#25 Fri, 13 Oct 2023 13:42:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#25 DisplayFusion Yeah strange, it errored out again.

I don't actually see anything in the display fusion settings window when I do this as far as log information. I hit refresh and it's still just a large blank white square above the few options. I do have it set to limited. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#23 Tue, 10 Oct 2023 14:31:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#23 DisplayFusion It looks like your debug info errored out, could you send it over again?

If you enable the "Enable Prompt to Restart Explorer when Issue Detected" advanced setting, do you get a prompt to restart explorer when the issue happens?

I enabled it... Will report back. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#20 Fri, 26 May 2023 14:24:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#20 DisplayFusion If you enable the "Enable Prompt to Restart Explorer when Issue Detected" advanced setting, do you get a prompt to restart explorer when the issue happens? ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#19 Fri, 26 May 2023 00:39:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#19 DisplayFusion Nope... Same thing happened just now. I'm attaching current debug log.

Here's something I noticed, when I clicked the DF icon on the taskbar to open DF (to export the debug log), as the splash screen came up, the taskbar temporarily went INFRONT of the open windows. A few seconds into the splash screen, but before the splash screen closed, the taskbar went BEHIND the open windows again.

Thanks much, Owen! ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#17 Tue, 23 May 2023 15:41:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#17 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over. Can you update to our latest beta and let me know if the issue persists? Here's the link: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

We've made some adjustments so it should work with Windows 7, and has some fixes for that version as well. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#16 Mon, 22 May 2023 04:49:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#16 DisplayFusion Hey, Owen... Latest debug log is attached to this post. Same issue happened on 05/22/2023 at around 00:40. Hopefully this will help track down the culprit.

Much appreciate you looking into this! ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#15 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:44:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#15 DisplayFusion Yeah I'll need the log before the reboot. Can you clear it, and follow those steps again?

Ah nope, you'll want to stay on your version. Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

Hi, Owen... I've attached the debug log to this message. The issue happened on 04/08/2023 at 14:57. Not sure if I did this correctly. I rebooted DF and THEN exported the debug log. Should I have exported BEFORE rebooting?

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply

Disable debug logging after sending the log

Could you update to our latest beta, and turn on the "Enable Prompt to Restart Explorer when Issue Detected" advanced setting? We put it in to deal with windows that drop behind the taskbar, I'm curious if it will fix this up as well. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#10 Wed, 15 Mar 2023 03:09:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#10 DisplayFusion DebugInfo is attached.

When the issue happens, if you restart Windows Explorer via task manager, rather then DisplayFusion, does that fix it up?

Thanks!

Going to revive this thread... Had the same issue happen just now, exited and restarted explorer, and it did not fix the problem. Exited and restarted DF, and all works as expected. ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#7 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 19:40:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#7 DisplayFusion

Next time it happens, I'll give that a shot and report back with the results...

As far as I have been able to ascertain this behavior happens arbitrarily, and I haven't found a connection to any specific application. As for your second questions, I've never used split monitors, so can't answer that. Once the behavior kicks in, it is the same on all 3 non-main displays (until I restart DF). ]]> RE: Multi-Monitor Taskbar Gets Stuck Behind Windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#4 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 13:58:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-gets-stuck-behind-windows/?ID=706ecc4f-f3fc-4b64-9dab-4759b572857e#4 DisplayFusion Okay strange, I'll play around with this on my end and see if I can reproduce it.
