I've figured it out. Internet Download Manager is causing it, specifically with Windows 11.

Other people are reporting something similar for anyone interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/vf53uj/internet_download_manager_keeps_crashing/

I've turned off Browser Integration with IE and Microsoft Edge/Legacy/WebView2 to see if it stops

If DisplayFusion needs to restart explorer.exe, it will prompt first, so if you aren't seeing that prompt something else must be restarting it. Can you try running without Start11 and see if the issue persists?

Thanks! ]]> Secondary monitor taskbar restarting randomly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-monitor-taskbar-restarting-randomly/?ID=e737df54-5f06-4d52-8968-ab108a1bfdaf Thu, 15 Sep 2022 01:31:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-monitor-taskbar-restarting-randomly/?ID=e737df54-5f06-4d52-8968-ab108a1bfdaf DisplayFusion Recently upgraded to Windows 11 (Fresh install) and have the taskbar on my secondary monitor has been restarting randomly.
There's a fair bit of time between crashes, maybe happening a couple times every hour. Everything works as normal after it restarts but it's still a bit annoying.
Don't have an exact timestamp but in the attached logs it was around the bottom half of 11:20, maybe where it has all the errors at 11:20:17
I also have Start11. ]]>
