Taskbars covered by opened softwares on secondary and tertiary monitor

I already set "Show taskbar in front of full screen aplications when they lose focus.", however, once I open software like Microsoft Word or a web brower,the taskbar of that monitor is covered by the software and thus I cannot see other applications runing on that monitor.
How to resolve this problem?:-[

Could you please provide me an email address where I can send you the video clip? My microsoft has my name on it so I prefer to send privately.

Just a moment ago I contacted displayfusion official support through Help from this website.

I have the same issue. I think maybe it happened with one of the latest updates to windows?

I think so. I have a temporary solution, under the advanced setting of the taskbar settings, turning "Taskbar is shown on Windows taskbar monitor" on, apply this setting, see anything changes or not, and then turn this setting off, applying the setting.
I have tried this a couple of times. Sometimes it solves the problem, sometimes it does not.
Please let me know if it works for you!

Thanks for sending that over. It looks like you have Start11 installed, this is a known issue and it's not fixable from our end unfortunately. We added an advanced setting called "Enable prompt to restart explorer when issue detected" that you can enable, which will display a prompt to fix it when the issue happens. Disabling the "Enhance the taskbar" option in Start11 should fix it up as well.

Thanks!

I have the let start11 enhance the taskbar setting set to off spesifically to make sure it does not mess with display fusion or other such apps, but it seems that is not enough with the latest apps.

I really hope stardock can make sure to test against displayfusion because i suspect you guys have a pretty big overlap in your userbase. :)

Ah okay, we'll see if we can make any improvements on this going forward. Hopefully that advanced setting helps though :)

So far i seems to have made Displayfusion crash pretty frequently (probably when that setting kicks inn)

Are you receiving the prompt to restart explorer right before it crashes?

Im not sure, maybe some times.

I don't know if this is the cause, but right now displayfusion is extremely unstable on my system, we are talking crashes or freezes every 10-15 minutes.

I'm going to disable that setting and see if that stops it from atleast faceplanting completelty :/

I allso tried reinstalling, just to be sure.

If you head to C:\Users\(YourUser)\AppData\Local\CrashDumps, is there anything listed for DisplayFusion? If so, could you send over the latest file?

It seems more stable now after reinstalling and disabling that explorer restart prompt.

Also window behaviour seems more consistent. Not sure what happened, if something updated in windows or start 11 in the meantime, but it has been a lot better the last few days.

Will keep monitoring and post if something continues to misbehave.
