Resolved this on mine by:

Right-Click Task Bar
Select Task Manager
Select Startup
Locate DisplayFusion.exe and Right-Click it
Finally Select "Enable"

For some reason mine was set to "Disabled" ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#44 Fri, 21 Apr 2023 23:43:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#44 DisplayFusion Updated to beta 2 and this issue occures, only just updated to windows 11 and now have this problem where explorer wont launch on any other monitors apart from primary.

I do switch resolutions now and then and have an HDMI display attached that I sometimes use. So I'm quite often switching between resolutions and displays. I'm pretty sure the switching doesn't cause the issue though and that it also happens at other times.. It's been an issue for a long time. Maybe a year even. ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#32 Tue, 11 Oct 2022 20:22:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#32 DisplayFusion I've been going between ExplorerPatcher and Start11 lately but I cannot say that one or the other is better/worse for this kind of issue. As long as I wake my monitors in a specific order, I can avoid the issue. -- I don't do a lot of hot swapping of monitors, though. Just waking them from sleep. ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#31 Tue, 11 Oct 2022 20:08:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#31 DisplayFusion Are you guys also running Start11 on your systems by any chance? ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#30 Tue, 11 Oct 2022 19:13:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#30 DisplayFusion Latest beta does not fix this longstanding issue unfortunately... ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#29 Mon, 10 Oct 2022 03:36:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#29 DisplayFusion

@Sam Williams1: You can upgrade to the beta with Steam, like this:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Options tab, enable the "Check for new Beta (newer, unstable) versions" option
Click the Apply button
Click the "Check for Updates" button

Thanks, but unfortunately I'm still getting the glitch, even on Steam ver 10.0 Beta 17.

Again, it happens semi-consistently when my monitor setup goes from dual to single, and back to dual again. ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#28 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 18:22:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#28 DisplayFusion @Sam Williams1: You can upgrade to the beta with Steam, like this:

This issue should be fixed up in the latest beta, available here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta. With this beta, DisplayFusion should prompt you to restart explorer when the issue happens. Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#25 Fri, 22 Apr 2022 01:28:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#25 DisplayFusion I have a new windows 11 machine and am also experiencing the 'windows behind taskbar' issue.

This issue applies to all applications on my computer.

I have tried many different tricks to get the windows to not get stuck behind the taskbars including...
restarting the service
disable then enable the DF taskbar
manually setting the taskbars position to 'bottom'
changing taskbar size manually and seeing if that does anything
reinstalling DF (ive tried 9.9 and the latest beta)
rebooting computer
changing primary monitor

The only thing I have made work is...
have windows setting for 'show my taskbar on all windows' turned off
open DisplayFusion
turn on windows setting for 'show my taskbar on all windows'
wait a few seconds for applications to adjust to fit with the windows taskbars
then disable windows setting 'show my taskbar on all windows'
this is something i need to do each time i restart my computer or display fusion ]]> RE: Current state of DisplayFusion and Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#24 Thu, 21 Apr 2022 19:04:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/current-state-of-displayfusion-and-windows-11/?ID=d3d5898f-3f8e-447f-a5ae-2fd683ff60ee#24 DisplayFusion

Setup: latest win11, latest DF beta version (13),
one monitor on my notebook [1],
two external monitors connected. [2],[3]
[2] is my main screen with the windows taskbar.
[1] and [3] has the DF taskbars.
No remote desktop, nothing extraordinary or niche. A few months old, freshly installed Windows with the usual consumer apps.
---
Problem: While on [1] and [3] full screen apps don't correctly align to the taskbar.
Although with some minor visual sacrifice, a 40px padding can be be set in monitor configurations, but that doesn't solve the issue of [1]'s DF taskbar flickering - turning on and off repeatedly.
Interestingly, after I restarted, that extra padding was calculated from the taskbar, not the screen. (meaning that when I reset it to 0 thinking it's fixed, once again the full screen apps were hidden behind the taskbar and setting the same 40px padding back again was correctly calculated again.)
---
Tried:
restarting application, setting some corresponding options in other threads, reinstallig the application, trying non-steam version, etc.
---
What helped (at least for now) was changing the primary screen to another and back - so the pop-up warned me that Windows' multimonitor taskbars are enabled, so I turned them off and that solved the issue.
Not sure how it was enabled, and how comes this bug only emerged in the last few days.
Strangest thing is that I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet - when turning the windows taskbars back on (taskbar settings -> taskbar behaviors -> show my taskbar on all displays), it works just fine. Of course it still warns me each time this option is on when I'm switching main screen, but neither the flickering, nor the 'full screen apps hidden behind df taskbar' bug has come back so far whether this option is on or off.
Sorry if that's not much of a help, I'm just throwing in my experiences. ]]>
