I'm using classic shell 4.3.1, display fusion 9.3 on steam and I have windows 10 Home. If I do not have some kind of window on my primary monitor the start menu will just go behind whatever window that is there on the second monitor. Games no matter if full-screen or borderless will not affect the issue. The Recording is exactly what the issue is in action and is 100% repeatable ( sorry for watermark just wanted something to snip the video). I cleared my log and started a new one and instantly did the issue a couple of times.

We've had this reported in the past and I've never been able to reproduce it

I will have another look at your troubleshooting info and logs this week and give it another go. Wish me luck!

What ever I can do to assist you in fixing the issues

Ok, I've had a chance to test this again, and still no luck making it happen here. Here's how I'm testing:

Open Chrome on the second monitor
No open windows on the primary monitor (not even minimized windows)
Click the Start Button on the second monitor
Also tested with the Windows key on the second monitor, neither one made this issue occur

Have I missed anything?

Yea looks like you did what I did to recreate it. However, with me messing around in classic shell I found out that if you open the classic shell settings and it pops up on your primary monitor then click ok. The issue is fixed until a new window appears on your primary monitor and you close it. I don't know if this helps or not lol but its what I figured out.

Well that's interesting! Just gave that a quick test but no luck either

I will try some more next week. In the meantime, since Classic Shell has been discontinued, you could try installing the fork of it, called Open-Shell to see if maybe that issue is fixed up there already: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

I'm back and with a soultion. I found an old forum from Classic shell that gave a link to a tool to "keep taskbar on top".https://www.csparks.com/Win7TaskbarMasher/ .This is what works for me but it would also be nice for something like this to be integrated as an option in Displayfusion. Since apparently others are having this issue too.

Interesting! Do you have the link to the Classic Shell forum handy as well? We'll definitely look into that further.

Just wanted to add that I have this issue as well. Running Windows 10 Enterprise v1909 with Display Fusion 9.7 Beta 6. I've got OpenShell v4.4.142. Running the Win7TaskbarMasher app fixes the issue. Don't mean to revive a dead thread, but glad I found a fix!

We've just released 9.7.1 Beta 7 and this issue should be all fixed up
