When I right-click on an item in the System Tray menu, its context menu is shown behind the system tray menu. How do I fix this?

Is this happening on the Primary monitor, or one of the non-Primary monitors? Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

It is happening on all monitors. I have 3 monitors. The central monitor is my primary where the default taskbar lives.

When I click on the System Tray Menu - "Show Hidden Icons" button on any monitor, the hidden icons are displayed always on the centre monitor. Then when I right-click on any of the hidden icons, its context menu is shown behind the Hidden Icons display so I can't easily read it. Very annoying.

Thanks! It looks like this is due to the NVIDIA helper processes running, which interfere with DisplayFusion's monitor splitting feature. Could you try the following?
  • In the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window, disable the "General: Don't Check nVidia Processes" option.
  • Restart DisplayFusion and it should prompt to disable the NVIDIA helper processes, choose yes.
  • Reboot your machine.

Hope that helps!

Apologies for making this thread a zombie, but I've been having this same issue forever. After the recent update didn't automagically address it I figured I'd come looking for a fix. As it happens, I found that I already have "Don't Check nVidia Processes" changed from the default value to "won't prompt you to disable..." So that isn't my solution.
I've attached a copy of the troubleshooting info.

Ok, I'm also having this issue: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-taskbar-jumps-under-displayfusion-taskbars/?ID=91718dca-7452-4c17-95eb-285549bfae59
I found that the nvsmartmaxapp and nvsmartmaxapp64 processes were running. I killed them and it appears to have resolved both issues.

Have I misunderstood the expected DF setting? Is DF meant to kill those processes?

Yeah if you revert the "Don't Check Nvidia Processes" advanced setting back to default, it should handle them automatically and fix this up.
