I'm running Windows 10 on my laptop. I have the laptop screen open and 3 other monitors attached. If I set the scaling to all of the displays to 100% everything is fine. But if I set the scaling for the laptop to 125%, the DisplayFusion taskbar on that monitor flashes about every 10 seconds. When I say flashes, I mean it disappears then reappears with no icons on it, then the icons reappear.

Running DisplayFusion 9.3

The log indicates that the taskbar isn't getting created in the right spot, so it keeps trying and failing. Does that persist after a reboot? If so, can you try updating to the latest 9.4 Beta and let me know if it still happens there as well?

Thanks!

Yes it persists after a reboot. And it is still doing it with the beta.

Do you have any other display management apps installed, like iShadow VDM?

Ok, that should be fine. If you update to the latest 9.4 Beta does it still happen?

If you click "Reset All Taskbars" on the Settings > Taskbars tab, does that make any difference? (if you have pinned shortcuts configured, you should backup your settings first on the Options tab)

Fortunately(?), sometime on Friday it stopped flashing and I don't know why. I haven't tried resetting the taskbars. I'll let you know if the problem comes back. Thanks for the help.

Well, this problem has been back for about a week now. Haven't figured out what caused it to come back. The only thing I can think of is that I undocked the laptop for a while. Resetting the taskbars did not help.

Could you run this at a command prompt and send me the text file that it creates on the desktop?

wmic startup get caption,command > %userprofile%\desktop\startupprograms.txt


Thanks!

Here is the output.

Also, I was experimenting with the built-in Win 10 multi-monitor taskbars and found that the taskbar on that display is placed about 1/5 of the way up from the bottom, so it may not be soley a Display Fusion problem.

Thanks! It definitely sounds like some other app is reserving the space at the bottom with a possibly invisible appbar. In your list of programs that start with Windows, the only one that stands out to me is WinXCorners. If you disable that application the next time the DF taskbar is flashing, does that make it stop?

So I think I figured it out. I don't think it was WinXCorners, I think it was actually Clover, a tabbed Windows Explorer utility. I uninstalled it and the problem seems to have gone away.

Interesting, thanks for letting us know! I haven't run into that issue with Clover before, but I'll install it again to see if I can reproduce it here.

Thanks!
