Second Monitor Has Scrolling Taskbar - Goes up to 99% CPU Usage

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

     I've recently installed WB10 & it looks pretty nice.  I've noticed on my Surface Pro 3 that the themes look good on non-modern apps.  But when I go to dual monitor, the secondary taskbar start button continuously "scrolls" upward.  The taskbar continuously flickers & is patchy looking.  Also, my CPU has gone up to 99% usage, basically crippling my computer.

Now, I know the theme I'm showing below has the start button image a little higher towards the top anyway, BUT I can literally watch it keep moving upward, like it's animated!!  It's done this with every theme I've tried.


The taskbar on the main screen looks/acts perfectly fine, no problem at all.


Any Thoughts On This?

Same issue here - desktop wall paper "jumps" up and down as well.

I've also found with dual monitors that not only run different resolutions, but also different scaling on each monitor on Windows 10, when moving windows between screens, it messes up the explorer.  Disk usage bars extend to far end of windows.  Overall explorer window resizes without my telling it too.  And I don't mean the auto scaling way.  I mean I have it on one screen.  Move it to other screen and window resizes as expected (as per scaling).  Window layout messes up.  Move window back to other screen, scaling kicks in again as expected, but overall window is now much bigger forcing me to resize the window again.

That sounds like the normal Windows thing for scaling per screen dpi.

It only seems to happen with regular windows 10.  Using Display Fusion, there is no scrolling effect, although the second screens task bar is warped and the start button is crappy looking. but that may be a DF problem.

Doesn't happen with default win10 theme.  Only happens with windowblinds.
