7 months ago When this happens, open up task manager and kill explorer.exe and then run task manager again and run explorer.exe.
Does that fix it?

commented
7 months ago It doesn't fix. The taskbar still restarts at half screen size.

Do the monitors have different resolutions?

commented
7 months ago Monitor 1 is 4k, the others are 1920x1200, but the bug persists even when I run all 3 monitors in identical resolutions.

7 months ago Check what happens when using the console in explorer patcher. Open up the properties application for explorer patcher, go to advanced, and click on enable console. Recreate the bug and copy and paste the results here.

2 weeks ago I also have this issue after the latest patch. I only have one monitor, it is a 49in ultrawide and this only happens when the taskbar is placed vertically on the left side (the only reason I use the software)
I have 3 monitor setup: my main display is on # 2 and a narrow vertical taskbar is on monitor # 3. Now if I go to Windows settings and I change the main display to be monitor # 1, the taskbar on the monitor # 3 becomes so wide it takes half the screen. I have to manually resize it to narrow, and if I change the main display back from monitor # 1 to # 2, the taskbar becomes wide again.
If the taskbar is on the main display everything works fine. The problem occurs only if the taskbar is on a non-main display and I switch the main display between the monitors that have no taskbar.
