Recently upgraded to Windows 11 (Fresh install) and have the taskbar on my secondary monitor has been restarting randomly.
There's a fair bit of time between crashes, maybe happening a couple times every hour. Everything works as normal after it restarts but it's still a bit annoying.
Don't have an exact timestamp but in the attached logs it was around the bottom half of 11:20, maybe where it has all the errors at 11:20:17
I also have Start11.

It looks like explorer is being restarted, so the taskbars have to reload. If DisplayFusion needs to restart explorer.exe, it will prompt first, so if you aren't seeing that prompt something else must be restarting it. Can you try running without Start11 and see if the issue persists?

Thanks!

I've figured it out. Internet Download Manager is causing it, specifically with Windows 11.

Other people are reporting something similar for anyone interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/vf53uj/internet_download_manager_keeps_crashing/

I've turned off Browser Integration with IE and Microsoft Edge/Legacy/WebView2 to see if it stops
