Thanks for the quick support. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#38 Wed, 30 May 2018 14:16:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#38 DisplayFusion Ok, we should hopefully have this fixed in this DisplayFusion 9.2.3 build: http://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusion/DisplayFusionSetup-9.2.3.exe. Could you give it a try and let me know how it works out? Please make sure to test with a full reboot after installing it if possible.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#37 Tue, 29 May 2018 02:50:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#37 DisplayFusion Hope you start doing betas for a bit until you get more of these bugs worked out instead of pushing a new version to all, over and over again, for a single bug fix. Gets annoying having to update constantly.

I discovered this issue today after rebooting my machine. I'm already on 9.2.2. Enabled/disabled/reset taskbars. They won't come back. Tried enabling Windows multi-monitor taskbars, we'll see if DF will ask if I want to disable them. Until then, I await a fix. Stupid Windows updates. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#34 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:28:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#34 DisplayFusion Lock and unlock does bring them back for a while at least. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#33 Sat, 26 May 2018 11:47:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#33 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks all. I have an idea on what the issue is but will need to discuss with the devs. In the meantime, if you need to roll back to 9.1, here is the download link: http://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusion/DisplayFusionSetup-9.1.exe ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#32 Sat, 26 May 2018 11:07:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#32 DisplayFusion I can confirm taskbar not appearing. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#31 Sat, 26 May 2018 04:47:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#31 DisplayFusion ok..I did the Win+L and when I logged back in DF came back within seconds. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#30 Sat, 26 May 2018 04:47:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#30 DisplayFusion Seem the same case for me. Taskbar on the 2nd monitor is not showing after upgrading to anything 9.2 and above version.

One thing to note though. On the latest version 9.2.2, I found out that I can restore the taskbar on the 2nd screen if I just go to lock screen (win + L) and then return to desktop.
But every single cold/warm boot would always result in the taskbar not showing on the 2nd screen.

At this point it's just annoying additional step to the startup procedure.

Attached is the troubleshooting file generated from the settings menu, hope it would help you solve this problem. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#29 Sat, 26 May 2018 01:35:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#29 DisplayFusion @Thildemar and Al: I think this may be a separate issue from the monitor detection problem we ran into, as the troubleshooting info shows all of your monitors correctly. It may be an issue with the code we updated for detecting the computer being locked and hiding the taskbar when it's locked (because for some weird reason, Windows 10 will allow the DisplayFusion taskbar and other topmost apps to sit on top of the lock screen)

If you lock the desktop (Win + L) then unlock it, do the taskbars come back after a minute? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#28 Sat, 26 May 2018 00:34:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/bug-2nd-monitor-task-bar-not-appearing/?ID=8977aec0-915d-4482-99e4-83c558d3ed7a#28 DisplayFusion Installed 9.2.2 and worked...for a while.
