I am running Displayfusion Pro Steam version 11.0 beta 2. I have come across this odd issue starting a few months ago where after Displayfusion has been running for some amount of time, the Windows taskbar on my non-primary monitor does not respond to any interaction. I have double checked that it is the multi-monitor taskbar feature of Displayfusion that is enabled, and not the Windows feature for 2nd monitor taskbar. The taskbar itself seems to still be running fine, it'll keep up to date in terms of displaying running apps and the clock is on time, I just can't click on anything or interact with the 2nd monitor taskbar.

Exiting Displayfusion and then running it again temporarily resolves the issue, but it always happens nearly every single day. I am not certain if the taskbar becomes responsive and interactable again later. Any ideas what is going on?

Yes,same exact issue on my Win 11 beta2 and beta3. Using a powershell script to restart display fusion.

Using Beta3 and still having this issue

I actually haven't had the issue pop up for me recently, but lately I've been out of the house more often and also not working from home. I updated to version 11 Beta 3 when I saw Owen's reply. Here's hoping the issue won't come back.

Sure thing

I'm sorry to say that for me the issue persists using Beta 3. Beta 2 had the same problems.

This has also been occuring recently (I would say about a month) with my triple monitor set up on latest beta and win11.

Eventually taskbars on non primary arent interactive. I use rexplorer app to quickly restart explorer and reload them, but if you need any logs, let me know.

Unfortunately, I've just come across the issue again. Come to think of it, I usually encounter this *after* having played a fullscreen game. It doesn't always happen after every game, it doesn't seem to be caused by any one game in particular, and I hadn't really associated it with playing games because I usually only notice it after I've already finished playing as I don't really interact with the taskbar on the secondary monitor when I'm in a game.

I'm still running version 11 beta 3. I've changed my logging level to the highest possible and I guess I'll remember to submit a log the next time it happens.

The unresponsive secondary taskbar bug popped up again for me. As promised, here's my debug log. Still not sure if it has anything to do with games as I played for maybe 1.5 hours about 14 hours ago and didn't nothing anything wrong with the secondary taskbar until now.

This problem may be related to a recent Windows update. The same for the thread “Displayfusion taskbar on 2nd monitor cannot be interacted with after an unknown amount of time”.

As previously noted, I keep a series of fully bootable backups for my six-screen setup.

On 10 April, I booted my disk copy from 12 February. I paused Windows backups on this disk.

It ran OK for 10 days, with only one restart for other reasons.

Late on 20 April, I unpaused and installed recent Windows Updates.

Now on 22 April, circa 39 hours after updating, all non-primary taskbars have disappeared (after first freezing).

I didn’t notice the freezing with previous "taskbar disappeared" instances, but it may well have happened before I noticed taskbars were gone.
