Having the same/similar problem. I just updated windows 10 to the latest version and it started happening. I'll watch this thread to see if there is a fix, or if we'll have to wait for a new version of displayfusion to fix this.

Have you got the News and Interests app and is it turned off? There is a known bug that turning off that app creates the issue in your screenshot.

Hi, I have a similar problem with tray area in the taskbar. I'm running on a laptop (HP ZBook G8 with both integrated and discrete graphics card) docked via Thunderbolt Dock to LG 34" display. I'm not sure whether the fact it has two switching graphics cards matters (AFAIK in the reported scenarios I was just on the integrated graphics), but I did not have such a problem on my desktop computer using the same display, nor on my old laptop (HP EliteBook x360 G2 with just integrated graphics) using same dock/connection and display setup. All those systems use the same version of Windows 10 Pro (20H2, latest patches) and latest version of DisplayFusion.
It's not consistent though. It's okay most of the time. Sometimes it's blank down there in the tray area. Sometime when getting back from some fullscreen app (like Remote Desktop), it's messy like what Adi Marwan87073 and James Pinkston posted. Blank tray can be "fixed", for example, by entering and exiting fullscreen Remote Desktop. When there is false overlay on tray, you just need to move mouse over to clear it.
I'm attaching screenshots of properly rendered taskbar, then with blank tray area, they with messed up tray area and also my display settings.

Hello,
As Alan mentioned, this does seem to be an issue coming from the Windows 10 KB5003637 cumulative update, and enabling the News & Interests button seems to fix it up. It also looks like Windows has fixed this up in their latest insider build as well.
Does the issue persist whether DisplayFusion is running or not?
Thanks!

I've tried the fix to turn on the news & interests, and seems to fix the bug for the moment..

For me it's only present with DF running.

Second that, issue only occurs when Displayfusion is running.

Here is my troubleshooting info.

Hello,
We've just released a new beta that includes an advanced setting called "Disable Hooking the Windows Taskbar". Can you try updating, enabling that setting, and restarting DisplayFusion to see if the issue persists?
Please note there may be some side effects, due to DisplayFusion having limited control over the Windows taskbar. We would not recommend using monitor splits on your primary monitor while that setting is enabled.
Thanks!
