Icons not visible or missing in taskbar second monitor

August 27, 2022 3:51:05 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

After installing Start11, all the icons on the taskbar of the second monitor went invisible:

Icons on the taskbar of the second monitor are invisible

and sometimes even disappear:

Icons missing from taskbar second monitor

I've read that this is a common Windows 11 bug, but that should've been patched around 2021. I'm currently using the latest Windows 11 Enterprise, version: 21H2, build: 22000.918; with the latest updates installed.

Windows 11 Enterprise Version

Furthermore, I'm using 2x HP 25X monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080. Both monitors are connected with displayport cables.

When the icons in the taskbar of the second monitor are invisible, I can click on the empty space, and the app that is located on that position will open. But because I can't see the icon, I don't know what I'm clicking on. If I turn off the setting “Show taskbar on all monitors” in the Windows settings, and turn it back on, the icons will show for a moment. But then they will disappear again, almost immediately.

This setting can be found in Windows settings > Personal settings > Taskbar > Show taskbar on all monitors.

I've got this issue on multiple systems. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix for it?

That does not look like a normal Windows 11 taskbar.

You would need to remove whatever you are using as it seems to have altered the taskbar button painting.

That is correct, i'm also using Startallback in combination with start11. Although the icons went missing after installing start11. Is there a way to disable the taskbar settings in start11 so that it won't conflict with startallback?

I am afraid you are trying to use two different products which have significant feature overlap.

Maybe some of the features of startallback can be implemented into start11, like the centered and segmented taskbar. I like that a lot. Then I can remove startallback.

Is there a way to completely disable the taskbar settings in Start11 to prevent conflicting with Startallback?
