This applies to Windows 8.1 x64 Professional with Display Fusion V5.1.1.
With V5.1.1, when I open Settings>Taskbar>Taskbar Shortcuts, the list of shortcuts do not display even though there are 14 shortcuts in the DF taskbar. The shortcuts do display properly in the taskbar itself.
- If I exit DisplayFusion and then restart it via START> DisplayFusion> DisplayFusion> "Run as Administrator", then the list of shortcuts show up in the settings window.
- If I go into File Explorer and set "Run as Administrator" on DisplayFusion.exe, then DisplayFusion will not automatically start up on a system reboot.
- This problem does not occur on my Windows 7 x86 Professional computers.
I have attached the DisplayFusion Info and a couple of snapshots showing the problem.

Strange! I wasn't able to reproduce this issue here. If you right-click one of those shortcuts and choose "Edit this Pinned Item," does it open up the properties for that shortcut?

No, it does not. It opens only the Task Shortcuts display window, but the shortcut list area is blank.

I am also getting a taskbar registry error when I attempt to backup the DF settings. I am using StartIsBack V1.5.1. I suspect that there must be some sort of conflict that is occurring. I removed StartIsBack but it did not clear up the DF problem.

I fixed both of these issues by enabling "inheritance" on the DF taskbar registry key that could not be accessed. How it got disabled, I have no clue.

Wow, that's really strange! I just checked the permissions on mine, and inheritance is enabled on all of the keys, so that's definitely weird that yours was disabled.
Anyhow, glad to hear you got it sorted out!
