Taskbar Date/Time Not Updating & Unable to move Desktop Icons (any)

from Stardock Forums

New Win11 build. Have 2 monitors and was using DisplayFusion Pro.  Currently running "Groupy - Multiplicity - DeskScapes 11 - Fences & Icon Packager. Was having issues with r/l click on monitor #1 taskbar would stop responding. The time would stop and not update even with a stop/start of explorer.exe Uninstalled DisplayFusion. Tested and issue still remained. Uninstalled Windows Blinds, & disabled Fences from running at boot. System rebooted. Testing and NO issues at all with the taskbar. Tested for 2 days (WB uninstalled-Fences disabled & DisplayFusion installed) and not one issue with icon placement on DT or the inability to r/l click on taskbar. Enabled Fences and within minutes lost control of taskbar and time display stopped. Not having WindowBlinds is OK but really hate to lose Fences. ANY ideas will be gratefully appreciated.

OK and thank you in advance for the lightening response! Sounds like a great place to start. Really want this solved down to exactly what the culprit is. Just rcvd my new NAS (ye-ha) so won't get to this pending issue till tomorrow. 

Let me setup as per instructions for a clean boot and after I'll update with my results

OK. Looks like Stardock Fences and Binary Fortress DisplayFusion don't play well together. Disabled DisplayFusion and ALL issues are gone. Finally uninstalled. Looks like Windows 11 has built in, much of what DF does. At least I have Fences running. Thanks again for the help! Greatly appreciated
