I'll report back if I have the issue again.

Thanks for giving it a shot on your end. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#11 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 18:52:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#11 DisplayFusion Sounds good, thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#10 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 16:48:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#10 DisplayFusion I did definitely see it after rebooting, but I'm not seeing the issue right now... I'm on driver 390.77, about to update to 391.01.

After rebooting, I never ran into this problem again. Just to double-check, have you done a full reboot already? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#8 Thu, 08 Feb 2018 19:39:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#8 DisplayFusion Ok, I'm a bit stumped here! I will need to do some in-depth testing with an NVIDIA Surround setup next week. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have more news.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#7 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 16:20:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#7 DisplayFusion No, I don't have that running in details.

If you're referring to nvidia process' all I've got is:

nvcontainer.exe [SYSTEM]
nvcontainer.exe [me]

Do your monitors or computer enter sleep mode when it's locked, or does it just stay locked with the monitors on? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#3 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 20:21:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#3 DisplayFusion Sure thing. Log started at 1:35pm EST, bug occurred around 3pm, and I toggled the taskbar on and off at 3:15 to fix it (and this fix does work temporarily) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#2 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 16:36:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win10-taskbar-is-floating/?ID=9a5b88a7-f77b-495d-973d-cdceccac5e3b#2 DisplayFusion Strange! Could you enable debug logging, and send a copy of the log the next time this occurs?

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

I'm having an issue where ocasionally (especially after the computer is locked) the center taskbar begins to "float".

You can see in my screenshot the taskbar floating above where it should be, and I've also opened my system info, DF, Display info, and my nvidia surround configuration.

For the time being a workaround for me is opening DF and toggling the multimonitor taskbar (image attached as well).

I've included the debug info zip from DF.

Hope this helps! ]]>
