Unfortunately, I am in a loop, with this message always appearing on initialization. Win 11, Insider beta channel. I will open a proper support ticket.

Hello,

Do you have any taskbars set to auto hide? DisplayFusion should be ignoring them with that prompt, but it looks like it's failing. We're currently taking a look into it, but in the meantime you can enable the "Disable prompt to restart explorer when issue detected" advanced setting, or roll back to beta 15.

Thanks!

I do have Autohide set for both Win and DF.
Unfortunately I can't. I stated in the ticket that I opened that DF never gets to a point where I can get into settings or anything else. There's no icon.
I can play registry games or edit configuration files directly if needed.
Oops wait. I thought that was a Win taskbar on my second display, but it's a DF taskbar that looks exactly like a Win taskbar. Hang on…

OK, disabled. Thanks! Let's continue in the official support ticket.
