A recent AVG and Avast antivirus update is preventing DisplayFusion 9.9 from launching on some systems.
If you're running into this issue, please update to the latest DisplayFusion 10.0 Beta.

Latest Win11 update v22H2 (KB5022913) causing taskbar problem

After installing update (KB5022913) my main monitor's taskbar is now twice as high. It functions perfectly and the associated desktop is fully visible, although slightly less high due to the 2x tall taskbar. My secondary monitor's taskbar is perfect (i.e., normal height). Screenshot of 2x high taskbar attached.

Hi Mark,

If you do "winver" at a run prompt, could you send me over a screenshot of the output?

Thanks!

Thanks for sending that over. Are you running Start11 as well?

If you are referring to Stardock's Start11, no, I'm not using it. I do use Stardock's Fences, but only its original legacy free version.

Okay strange, I can't seem to reproduce this on my end. Could you send me over a backup of your settings? You can grab them in the DisplayFusion Settings Window > Options > Export Settings.

Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue not nearly as much as the OP, though. In my first screenshot, you can see three task bars. My Win11 taskbar is in the center, at it's normal height. It doesn't stay this way. I had to capture this as things were loading. The second screenshot shows the same taskbar after DF 9.9 has loaded. I'd like to regain my screen area and avoid having to reconfigure all of my FancyZones.

Let me know what I can send to you to hopefully solve this.

Thank You,
Jon

Similar issue over here. Taskbar is taller, and no option to show hidden icons in the task tray? Found a better thread for my issue, I think, but there doesn't seem to be an option for me to delete my comment. Sorry!

Could each of you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

If you are running any third party apps that adjust the taskbar as well, could you exit them and see if the issue persists?

@MarkScally We are aware of an issue with the missing system tray icons on the latest Windows 11 builds, we'll let you know if we have anything further there.

Thanks!

@JonLunsford Thanks for sending that over. Are you running Start11? We were able to reproduce something similar with the taskbar size set to "Small" in Start11.

@MarkLundquist Can you update to our latest beta and let me know if the issue persists? Here's the link: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Yes, I am running Start11. The Win11 task bar is trash, IMO. What do you recommend, or do you have a plan to fix it?

@MarkLundquist What scaling levels are you running on each monitor?

@JonLunsford I've added it to our list to look into. I'm not sure if there's anything we can do here, but we'll check it out

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't need to use Start 11 if there was a way for DisplayFusion to set all of my monitor taskbars to use DF settings instead of having to find a way to make the windows taskbar match. Any way to do this?

@JonLunsford This isn't currently possible, but we do have it open as a feature request

@MarkLundquist We were finally able to reproduce this on our end, we'll let you know if we have anything further on it.

We've also released a new beta that should have the missing tray icon issue fixed up.

Thanks!

Woohoo! Thanks Owen, that worked. Taskbar height is back to normal. Isn't coding fun? Best regards,
