Well, good news and bad news. The clean boot had the same problem, so it has nothing to do with Start11V2. It is 24H2 interacting with my Lenovo Carbon laptop. i’ll have to give Microsoft a bit more time to get 24H2 right. For now I will roll my laptop back to 23H2. (My other Lenovo laptop’s Windows Update doesn’t offer me 24H2 yet, so I think MS knows something is wrong.)

I tried “reset” and even “clear”, but it is still shy and after a little while hides again. Clean boot may solve it, but at the cost of hours of re-installation. I have hundreds of app installed. If I could guess which one is doing this I would try it in a second, but I have no clue which one is misbehaving with Start11v2.
I have made sure a dozen times. i have cycled it back and forth to hide it, then not to hide it and the taskbar appeared again for 10, 15 seconds and then went back to hiding.
A long time ago I used DisplayFusion, but I uninstalled it long ago. I couldn't find any of the programs that you listed. I updated a Lenovo Carbon Laptop to 24h2 and now start11 V2 is stuck in "Hide when not in use" mode? I checked taskbar behavior not to hide, but it keeps hiding!? Any ideas how I can fix this weird interaction?
Well, I really did not think that I was dealing with some hardware incompatibility. On a fresh account all taskbars are present. The question becomes what among my very many other pieces of software has an issue with Start11V2? It would take weeks to start from the beginning and slowly re-install everything and tweak each setting until I might find the errant interaction.... Or I can set Windows not to show a taskbar on secondary monitors, which appears t
Unfortunately I see no change. I can bring back the third taskbar by restating window explorer two or three times.

For a long time now Start11 has had a problem placing a taskbar onto my third monitor. When it starts up, the third monitor's taskbar is initially visible, but after a few minutes it would disappear. In the past, I knew to use the Start11's control window to "restart windows" and that seemed to fix the problem. Since I updated to Windows 24H2 this work around seldom works. Is there any way to consistently fix this flaw? Thanks. Roy
Start11 is another great product! I have a lot of taskbar icons and they now spread out far too wide, and when they run out of room, all I am left with is a ''|" and no way to reach the additional icons, short of killing apps that are taking up taskbar icon space. Am I missing something? Any chance for a feature to squeeze the taskbar icons closer together? Thanks!
