C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiph.Org\Open Codecs\x64\dsfOggDemux2.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiph.Org\Open Codecs\x64\webmsplit.dll
C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax

I'm wondering if they could be contributing. Is there any chance you could try uninstalling those codecs to see if it makes any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#30 Sun, 17 Apr 2022 13:50:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#30 DisplayFusion I've now tested Version 9.7 and the same problem occurs with that aswell. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#29 Thu, 14 Apr 2022 17:18:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#29 DisplayFusion Sure, I'll give it a try! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#28 Thu, 14 Apr 2022 17:10:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#28 DisplayFusion Could you try DisplayFusion 9.7?

Also I installed it on another PC a week ago and there I don't have any problems. It runs on the exact same Windows 11 version but is a laptop. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#26 Thu, 14 Apr 2022 14:19:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#26 DisplayFusion Still stumped on this one unfortunately! Do you want to try a few older versions of DisplayFusion to see if any of them don't have this issue? If they don't, we can try to narrow it down to a specific beta to see if we can track down the change that started causing this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#25 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:43:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#25 DisplayFusion Sounds good, thanks for your effort so far! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#24 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:39:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#24 DisplayFusion Thanks!

I don't really see that there could be any solution, that's pretty frustrating...

No I've never heard of that application, so I am not using it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#18 Thu, 24 Feb 2022 17:47:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#18 DisplayFusion Could you try enabling the "Disable Hooking the Windows Taskbar" advanced setting and restart DisplayFusion?

Also, are you running an app called Explorer Patcher by any chance? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#17 Mon, 21 Feb 2022 22:28:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#17 DisplayFusion I've already updated to latest beta and still no change to this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#16 Fri, 18 Feb 2022 19:02:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbardll-crash/?ID=ef7a06ac-b0a9-4b28-99c1-a260bb94dd57#16 DisplayFusion Which version of DisplayFusion are you on?

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

If it does, can you re-enable those hooks 1 by 1, and see which one causes the crashes?
