Hey all,
I'm thinking about upgrading to Windows 11 - what is the current situation with DisplayFusion and Windows 11? Is it as functional as it is with Windows 10, not nearly there, etc.
Could someone possibly sticky as they did with Windows 10 the state of affairs with Windows 11? Searching the discussions brings up heaven and earth and all between.
Thanks

I'm running Windows 11 with DisplayFusion 10.0 Beta 6 and it seems to perform just fine and it looks great.
My only current issue is that on my second monitor, I'd like the Start button to be in the Middle of the bottom of the screen instead of left or right (so it accurately mirrors monitor 1). The current options are "Automatic", "Left", "Right", and "Disabled". I'd like a Middle option please.

Thanks a million! Upgrading to 11 is almost completely dependent on how well DF works, so this is a great sign, I appreciate it.

I purchased a new PC with Windows 11 and the lastest version of DisplayFusion 9.9 will install, but when I click the .exe nothing happens. Even when I click launch app immediately after installing nothing happens. I am so bummed, hopefully there is a fix soon. UPDATE: I installed the 10.0 Beta and now it is working

I just came to the forums to check, but my main issue with Windows 11 is the start bar on the second monitor overwrites anything I maximize on that monitor. So the window expands to the full screen size, ignoring the taskbar. So the bottom of the window is behind the taskbar. This may already be addressed, I was coming here to check. I have had to revert back to stock taskbar as I run a lot of windows maximized, now I am annoyed that it is the same taskbar on all monitors.

I'm somewhat curious if your issue is the same as mine here.

For me, restarting the computer will fix it initially... but you don't mention it ever working at all.

I literally have the opposite problem. Any window maximized completely COVERS the taskbar on the second/third monitors. Though, my taskbars are on the right side. If I move them to the bottom, then your description occurs. I am now typing this response after I just installed Windows 10 because it is so massively frustrating.

I just want Windows to have the ONE single feature MacOS is better at; multiple monitors with separate virtual desktop switching. I am so confused why this is not handled. Even ChromeOS handles it like that. Super frustrating.

I have the same problem as JLJTGR with it intermittently allowing windows to go underneath the second task bar.

@Owen Muhlethaler (BFS) - Was going to send you details but I can't find out how to message you on this forum 🙈

Nevermind ... I've now seen the protected attachments option and that you want it here!

Hi Keith! No sorry that is just some post processing ... Everything is clear apart from being able to see that the window is hiding behind the task bar.

Thanks Keith - I've installed, and I'll keep an eye on it as it's an intermittent issue. If it happens again, I'll grab out the log file again and post here! 👍

From what I've noticed, this seems to happen with some sort of crash/restart of explorer.exe. In Event Viewer, it shows up as an issue with ucrtbase.dll but I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it further than that.
I am also on the latest available beta.

Any updates? I updated back to Windows 11 in anticipation of this, and ugh, it is SOOOOO frustrating! DisplayFusion Pro 10.0 (Beta 13)

The taskbars just appear, disappear, appear, disappear.

I'm still not completely sure what causes this. In the meantime, I have reinstalled windows and running minimally - it was ok on the most recent beta for 2 days, but I just reverted to the last stable version. I'll keep monitoring to see if explorer crashes again with the ucrtbase.dll error.

I'm not op, but have/had* the same problem.
Setup: latest win11, latest DF beta version (13),
one monitor on my notebook [1],
two external monitors connected. [2],[3]
[2] is my main screen with the windows taskbar.
[1] and [3] has the DF taskbars.
No remote desktop, nothing extraordinary or niche. A few months old, freshly installed Windows with the usual consumer apps.
---
Problem: While on [1] and [3] full screen apps don't correctly align to the taskbar.
Although with some minor visual sacrifice, a 40px padding can be be set in monitor configurations, but that doesn't solve the issue of [1]'s DF taskbar flickering - turning on and off repeatedly.
Interestingly, after I restarted, that extra padding was calculated from the taskbar, not the screen. (meaning that when I reset it to 0 thinking it's fixed, once again the full screen apps were hidden behind the taskbar and setting the same 40px padding back again was correctly calculated again.)
---
Tried:
restarting application, setting some corresponding options in other threads, reinstallig the application, trying non-steam version, etc.
---
What helped (at least for now) was changing the primary screen to another and back - so the pop-up warned me that Windows' multimonitor taskbars are enabled, so I turned them off and that solved the issue.
Not sure how it was enabled, and how comes this bug only emerged in the last few days.
Strangest thing is that I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet - when turning the windows taskbars back on (taskbar settings -> taskbar behaviors -> show my taskbar on all displays), it works just fine. Of course it still warns me each time this option is on when I'm switching main screen, but neither the flickering, nor the 'full screen apps hidden behind df taskbar' bug has come back so far whether this option is on or off.
Sorry if that's not much of a help, I'm just throwing in my experiences.

I do, yes, hence the whole problem I think? Either way, here are my settings. I do run TeamViewer in the background.

I have a new windows 11 machine and am also experiencing the 'windows behind taskbar' issue.

This issue applies to all applications on my computer.

I have tried many different tricks to get the windows to not get stuck behind the taskbars including...
restarting the service
disable then enable the DF taskbar
manually setting the taskbars position to 'bottom'
changing taskbar size manually and seeing if that does anything
reinstalling DF (ive tried 9.9 and the latest beta)
rebooting computer
changing primary monitor

The only thing I have made work is...
have windows setting for 'show my taskbar on all windows' turned off
open DisplayFusion
turn on windows setting for 'show my taskbar on all windows'
wait a few seconds for applications to adjust to fit with the windows taskbars
then disable windows setting 'show my taskbar on all windows'
this is something i need to do each time i restart my computer or display fusion

I have the Steam Pro version, and still get the taskbar glitch. Typically happens when transitioning from dual-monitor to single-monitor and back.

Thanks, but unfortunately I'm still getting the glitch, even on Steam ver 10.0 Beta 17.

Again, it happens semi-consistently when my monitor setup goes from dual to single, and back to dual again.

Latest beta does not fix this longstanding issue unfortunately...

I've been going between ExplorerPatcher and Start11 lately but I cannot say that one or the other is better/worse for this kind of issue. As long as I wake my monitors in a specific order, I can avoid the issue. -- I don't do a lot of hot swapping of monitors, though. Just waking them from sleep.

No I don't use Start11, don't even know what that is. I do switch resolutions now and then and have an HDMI display attached that I sometimes use. So I'm quite often switching between resolutions and displays. I'm pretty sure the switching doesn't cause the issue though and that it also happens at other times.. It's been an issue for a long time. Maybe a year even.

I am not, although I do run Classic Shell.

Yes

No

I'll test that when it happens again.

edit: Oh my bad, you were asking Sam.

It appears to, yes.

For what it's worth, relog fixes it here as well.

Sadly this is still broken and has been a daily annoyance for over a year now...

Updated to beta 2 and this issue occures, only just updated to windows 11 and now have this problem where explorer wont launch on any other monitors apart from primary. Very annoying.

Displayfusion was not starting up in Windows 11. Resolved this on mine by:

• Right-Click Task Bar
• Select Task Manager
• Select Startup
• Locate DisplayFusion.exe and Right-Click it
• Finally Select "Enable"

For some reason mine was set to "Disabled"
