Now it is only one taskbar in the middle monitor the way I like it and hopefully the issue does not appear again.

Thank you very much for the help Keith. ]]> RE: nVSurround and Windows 10 Taskbar problem. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#5 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 20:34:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#5 DisplayFusion

Ok, could you check the Settings > Advanced Settings and see if the "Don't check nvidia processes" option is enabled? If it is, disable it, then apply the settings and restart DF. When you get prompted to disable the nvidia helpers, choose yes, then reboot.

That should resolve the taskbar issues, but if not, please let me know.

Thanks!


Thank you very much for the reply.

I did that and after the reboot, taskbar is spanned across the 3 monitors, not in the middle monitor but start menu and calendar opens in the middle monitor fine.
Also clicking on "desktop" option in nVidia control panel crashes it now. ]]> RE: nVSurround and Windows 10 Taskbar problem. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#4 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:57:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#4 DisplayFusion Ok, could you check the Settings > Advanced Settings and see if the "Don't check nvidia processes" option is enabled?

Are there any processes listed on the Windows Task Manager > Details tab called "nvsmartmaxapp?"


Yes, nvsmartmaxapp and nvsmartmaxapp64. ]]> RE: nVSurround and Windows 10 Taskbar problem. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#2 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:18:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce#2 DisplayFusion Are there any processes listed on the Windows Task Manager > Details tab called "nvsmartmaxapp?" ]]> nVSurround and Windows 10 Taskbar problem. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce Thu, 13 Dec 2018 15:57:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/nvsurround-and-windows-10-taskbar-problem/?ID=e5c3f530-0ca6-4628-939f-39263bd668ce DisplayFusion I recently upgraded my AMD R9 290 which worked fine with Eyefinity and DisplayFusion to a nVidia GTX 1070Ti and nVSurround has many issues. One of the issues I see with DisplayFusion is that the Windows 10 Tasbar in the middle monitor doesn't stay in a fixed position related to windows open in the middle monitor.

Opening windows like File Explorer, browsers, or apps appear fully on top of the taskbar for just minutes then randomly go beneath the taskbar and to fix this, I have to unlock the taskbar, enlarge it a bit by dragging it upward, then back downward and lock it again, then windows will fully appear on top of it again.

Attached are pictures of the issue. First one is the correct position and second one is the incorrect position.

Help would be much appreciated. ]]>
