So I use displayfusion to separate a Nvidia surround 3x1080p 5670x1080 display into 3 separate monitors to get different wallpapers and taskbars. After I set this up for the first time it asked me to stop running some nvidia service so I said OK fine if that will make it work better. Now my nvidia control panel doesn't seem to run on startup making it a real pain to switch between 5670x1080 and separate monitors since the nvidia service is the only way to do that. Some programs just do not work with one big monitor such as photoshop and most adobe software, maxthon, most cad software, and probably much more.
Furthermore when in surround mode and I use display fusion to make multiple task bars it works great on startup but if I go into a fullscreen program like CSGO and then exit out, my normal middle windows taskbar goes away and never comes back. I either have to restart explorer.exe to get it back and then the taskbar stretches across the whole screen and the displayfusion task bars go away or I have to reboot my computer.
You should be able to restore the Nvidia helpers using the "Restore Nvidia Files" button on the Settings > Options tab. Can you try that, then reboot to see if that fixes it up?

Okay the nvidia thing is back, but how do I stop the task bars from glitching out and going missing?
That taskbar glitching is usually what happens when the Nvidia processes aren't disabled, so I'm surprised to hear that that was happening when they were. Since you've restored them, are you getting the same issues?

Yes it seems to glitch out a lot regardless of nvidia running or not. How am I supposed to switch between surround and separate monitors without the nvidia service. So much software is broken in surround mode.
Do you know of a way so software such as photoshop, firefox, maxthon, and much more will only open up on one monitor with surround enabled. It defeats the purpose of making multiple task bars if the program uses all monitors.

The Monitor Splitting should already be taking care of that. Do you have the "Window Management" checkbox enabled in the Monitor Configuration window?

Yes thats already checked off.
The strange thing is the programs that work and don't work in surround seem to correlate with the software im using to split the monitor.
Some stuff works better when nvidia does it, some works better with displayfusion, and I tried matroxs software for their cards(works regardless of what gpu you have) and some software like maxthon instantly starts not randomly cutting off when using 1 monitor. Obviously when I have all of these softwares running at the same time it creates even more problems...
Still doesn't explain why my windows task bar vanishes after using 3D games. Sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it does.
