Uninstall DisplayFusion I used to love it, but Windows is so much better at this stuff than it was when I started using DisplayFusion 10+ years ago. Maybe something will bring me back one day, but I'm content with one less bit of software running. The best code, as they say, is no code. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/whatsapp-issue-taskbar-button-always-duplicated-on-primary-display-win-11-with-startallback/?ID=e5ce63d5-8344-41d5-98b1-1f22f53d2d38#3 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 08:46:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/whatsapp-issue-taskbar-button-always-duplicated-on-primary-display-win-11-with-startallback/?ID=e5ce63d5-8344-41d5-98b1-1f22f53d2d38#3 DisplayFusion Thanks! I did notice that the new WhatsApp app is "funky", and unlike the version I had on my Windows 10 laptop previous to this new machine. I'll try to see if I can get the old version (and if WhatsApp will allow me to use it without forcing an upgrade to this "Universal" app). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/whatsapp-issue-taskbar-button-always-duplicated-on-primary-display-win-11-with-startallback/?ID=e5ce63d5-8344-41d5-98b1-1f22f53d2d38#2 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 16:12:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/whatsapp-issue-taskbar-button-always-duplicated-on-primary-display-win-11-with-startallback/?ID=e5ce63d5-8344-41d5-98b1-1f22f53d2d38#2 DisplayFusion Please see the third point in this post: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-known-issues/?ID=e71e1f5e-9e07-4f7d-b179-22253db2c30f. It's mentioned for Windows 10, but applies to Windows 11 as well.

I've not noticed this issue with any other program.

Machine: Dell XPS 9720
WhatsApp: version 2.2301.2.0
OS: Windows 11 Home 22H2 build 22621.1105
DisplayFusion: version 10.0 (Beta 19). I had the same issue on 9.9, I hoped moving to 10 would fix it.

Other notable info:

1) I'm using StartAllBack

2) I use DisplayFusion taskbars on the external screens, and Windows/StartAllBack's one on my primary screen

Has anyone else come across this issue? In theory I can disable StartAllBack if I log out (to see if the issue lies there) but I have too much going on at the moment to want to have to close everything down. ]]>
