With the latest update, Start11 conflicts with DisplayFusion

in Windows: I used to set "Show my taskbar on all displays" OFF, "Automatically hide the taskbar" OFF

in Start11 v2: I used to enable "Let Start11 enhance the taskbar" and enable "Start11 autohide mode"

in DisplayFusion: "Enable multi-monitor taskbars" 

The result was:

Monitor 1: enhanced with Start11 and autohide with Start11 (OLED monitor)

Monitor 2: taskbar from DisplayFusion, always visible

Now, when this is done, the taskbar on Monitor 1 breaks and keeps flashing.

As a bug request, would this be fixable to return to previous state, so the enhanced taskbar would not break, if DisplayFusions multi-monitor taskbars are enabled?

Or as a feature request, could we add "Start11 autohide mode" to be configurable per monitor? That would solve my problems and I wouldn't have to use DisplayFusion for this (which I can't anyway right now with the latest Start11 version, but it was working fine for a long time before the latest updates to Start11).

Only reason is that I just want secondary taskbar visible all the time, that's why i use DisplayFusion at the moment. I have a lot of applications with notifications running, like Slack, and when the taskbar is hidden, I don't see they have pending messages I need to reply to. When I enable Start11s enhancement and hide features, it applies to all taskbars and I don't see a way to apply autohiding just to main screen.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can't view the picture you posted. Perhaps you need to set it to be "public" for someone else to view it.

Are you also using displayfusion in your system? If not, look like this is issue on your specific system. It is best to create your own thread so we can help you from there.

If you restart Windows Explorer, does it resolve it?

Another problem with 2.53, when my computer wakes from the sleep, there's a black line rendered on my bigger screen. Apx the line matches the resolution of smaller screen, it's like the 1px taskbar bottom line was rendered on the wrong display and stayed there. I can do anything, scroll apps, hide or show windows, the line just stays there. It's even visible on screenshots.

Is there a way to revert to previous version through Steam? Before the last updates the Start11 was totally stable and without noticeable bugs and now I can't have one taskbar hidden and other don't, it conflicts with DisplayFusion I had to uninstall and it still renders weird lines on my big screen.

Edit: restarting explorer helps to get the line disappear, but it's annoying.

The recent file list disappearing bug is back.  It was fine for the longest time so not sure if the last update to Win11 did something.  Uninstalled and will reinstall again to see.  Hopefully was just a glitch.
