I haven't run into that issue with Clover before, but I'll install it again to see if I can reproduce it here.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#15 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 22:30:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#15 DisplayFusion So I think I figured it out. I don't think it was WinXCorners, I think it was actually Clover, a tabbed Windows Explorer utility. I uninstalled it and the problem seems to have gone away. ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#14 Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:53:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#14 DisplayFusion Thanks! It definitely sounds like some other app is reserving the space at the bottom with a possibly invisible appbar. In your list of programs that start with Windows, the only one that stands out to me is WinXCorners. If you disable that application the next time the DF taskbar is flashing, does that make it stop? ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#13 Wed, 23 Jan 2019 14:59:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#13 DisplayFusion Here is the output.

Also, I was experimenting with the built-in Win 10 multi-monitor taskbars and found that the taskbar on that display is placed about 1/5 of the way up from the bottom, so it may not be soley a Display Fusion problem. ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#12 Tue, 22 Jan 2019 18:09:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#12 DisplayFusion Could you run this at a command prompt and send me the text file that it creates on the desktop?

Haven't figured out what caused it to come back. The only thing I can think of is that I undocked the laptop for a while. Resetting the taskbars did not help. ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#10 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 18:20:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#10 DisplayFusion No worries, sounds good! ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#9 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 13:34:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#9 DisplayFusion Fortunately(?), sometime on Friday it stopped flashing and I don't know why. I haven't tried resetting the taskbars. I'll let you know if the problem comes back.

If you update to the latest 9.4 Beta does it still happen? ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#5 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:29:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#5 DisplayFusion Nope.

Further description of the configuration just in case it helps.

2. Monitor hooked to dock via display port
3. Monitor hooked to dock via HDMI

And it is still doing it with the beta. ]]> RE: Windows 10 scaling causes DF taskbar to flash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#2 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 19:48:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-scaling-causes-df-taskbar-to-flash/?ID=c1bc9cd0-15d2-422c-99a7-0d206d84b58b#2 DisplayFusion The log indicates that the taskbar isn't getting created in the right spot, so it keeps trying and failing. Does that persist after a reboot? If so, can you try updating to the latest 9.4 Beta and let me know if it still happens there as well?

I have the laptop screen open and 3 other monitors attached. If I set the scaling to all of the displays to 100% everything is fine. But if I set the scaling for the laptop to 125%, the DisplayFusion taskbar on that monitor flashes about every 10 seconds. When I say flashes, I mean it disappears then reappears with no icons on it, then the icons reappear.

Running DisplayFusion 9.3 ]]>
