 I run Windows 11 and Actual Windows Manager 8.14.6.1

Since upgrading to Windows 11 something strange occasionally happens on my 2nd monitor. The taskbar will appear half way down the screen. It is just a graphic as none of the buttons work but it stays there on top of everything until I restart AWM. It doesn't happen often... perhaps once a day... but it is very annoying especially in the middle of flying my flight simulator. It isn't program-specific and can happen at any time regardless of what I am doing it seems.

 Hello, Paul

Thank you for contacting us.

Several users have already reported this problem, but it seems to be intermittent and happens rarely at least for some of the users. We were unable to reproduce it yet, but the users report that the taskbar copy can be removed by pausing the program. Then you can resume the program and the copy should not be there.

Next time the problem happens don't pause the program right away but open the configuration module and create new specific settings (AWM configuration module > Window Settings > Specific Settings > green plus sign button). When the settings are created navigate to the Target Window section of the settings and use the Crosshair tool to see whether this taskbar copy has its own window parameter values. Drag the crosshair with the mouse to the taskbar copy. The target window parameter fields will be filled automatically with the values of the window the crosshair points to at the moment. So you need to drag it over desktop or a window overlayed by this taskbar copy, then without releasing the left mouse button drag it over the copy itself and see whether the parameters values change. If they do, then let us know what the parameters values of this taskbar copy are.

Also please specify the exact number of your Windows build (type winver in the Search field of the Windows Start menu, press Enter. The window containing the build number will appear).


Best regards.

 Thank you... I'll do as you ask next time it happens.

This might be total coincidence but since the last Windows update it hasn't happened.

I did notice that stopping and restarting AWM did erase the extra taskbar graphic.

Many thanks
