I hope it is clear. (I suffer from aphasia)

I hope it's right!

Thanks! It looks like the workarea is failing to set for the second monitor. When this happens, if you end explorer.exe using Windows task manager and then re-launch it, does that fix it up?

I have this same issue.
The windows on my second monitor display with their bottoms beneath the taskbar, they don't stop at the top of the taskbar as they should.
I have tried the explorer reset, and that does not work.
Windows 11 Pro Build 22621 22506-1250
Are either if you running Start11 or Explorer Patcher by any chance?

Yes! I was running Start11. I stopped Start11 and the taskbar is OK.

I had my Settings on "automatically hide the tasbar". I started Start11 and all was OK, but then I realised that Settings "automatically hide the taskbar" doesn't hide the second monitor, apparently. I'm lost!

I am running start11. 1.36
I see they released a new update, 1.39 yesterday or the day before, I'll try that.

Sadly Start11 1.39 did not fix the issue.
The useful part of start11 taskbar "enhancements" is that it enables turning off grouped icons. I find grouped icons to be enourmously inefficient and infuriating, as it ads an extra click to every window change in windows 11.
I've not found an option in displayFusion to do this.

Try using "reset all taskbars". Let it boot and then see if that does it. Something does it but I don't know what.

I can confirm I have the same issues since some days. The bottom of the windows on the second screen are underneath the taskbar.
I dont use any other software (Start11 for e.g.). Only display fusion. I already tried the suggested fixes which weren't working for me

I wanted to chime in as another Start11 user, I had the desktop icons behind the DF taskbar on my 2nd monitor. I changed some settings in Start 11 under Taskbar, I disabled then reenabled "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar". I think this reset whatever settings I had in that aspect and fixed it
This issue appears to be a Windows bug that's triggered by something not DF. Basically, when we create the taskbar, we tell windows "this is an appbar" and Windows is supposed to reserve space for it, but it's not. It doesn't return any errors, it just silently fails, and there isn't any other way for us to tell it to reserve space :(
Best we've been able to come up with is that it's related to apps like Explorer Patcher or Start11 where they're patching taskbar stuff in memory, but we haven't gotten any further than that.
We'll be sure to post an update here if we do end up being able to sort it out from our end.
Thanks!
