Basically, when we create the taskbar, we tell windows "this is an appbar" and Windows is supposed to reserve space for it, but it's not. It doesn't return any errors, it just silently fails, and there isn't any other way for us to tell it to reserve space :(

Best we've been able to come up with is that it's related to apps like Explorer Patcher or Start11 where they're patching taskbar stuff in memory, but we haven't gotten any further than that.

We'll be sure to post an update here if we do end up being able to sort it out from our end.

Thanks! ]]> RE: DisplayFusion uses my second monitor taskbar which overwrites the bottom of the status line for Vivaldi or Total Commander https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#17 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 19:41:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#17 DisplayFusion The problem went away for a few days, since today it came back. :o ]]> RE: DisplayFusion uses my second monitor taskbar which overwrites the bottom of the status line for Vivaldi or Total Commander https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#16 Sun, 12 Feb 2023 02:24:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#16 DisplayFusion

Sadly this disables the ability to ungroup taskbar icons, which to my knowledge DisplayFusion can't do. The extra click to see and choose windows is too super annoying. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion uses my second monitor taskbar which overwrites the bottom of the status line for Vivaldi or Total Commander https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#15 Sat, 11 Feb 2023 22:18:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#15 DisplayFusion Mine is also back. :x ]]> RE: DisplayFusion uses my second monitor taskbar which overwrites the bottom of the status line for Vivaldi or Total Commander https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#14 Sat, 11 Feb 2023 21:43:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#14 DisplayFusion I wanted to chime in as another Start11 user, I had the desktop icons behind the DF taskbar on my 2nd monitor.

The useful part of start11 taskbar "enhancements" is that it enables turning off grouped icons. I find grouped icons to be enourmously inefficient and infuriating, as it ads an extra click to every window change in windows 11.

I've not found an option in displayFusion to do this. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion uses my second monitor taskbar which overwrites the bottom of the status line for Vivaldi or Total Commander https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#10 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 19:46:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-uses-my-second-monitor-taskbar-which-overwrites-the-bottom-of-the-status-line-for-vivaldi-or-total-commander/?ID=7c8e0756-1fe5-47e4-8137-12dd69f3d1f9#10 DisplayFusion I am running start11. 1.36

The windows on my second monitor display with their bottoms beneath the taskbar, they don't stop at the top of the taskbar as they should.

I have tried the explorer reset, and that does not work.
