Description

Before reporting your issue

  • I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
  • I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
  • I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

Repro Windows Versions

3rd party tweak software installed

none

Describe the bug

  1. Currently I have moved my task bar top side, main reason I got this software
  2. I sometimes change scaling on my 2nd monitor depending on what I do with it
  3. Everytime I change scaling on my 2nd monitor, windows that are maximized on my 1st monitor move slightly upwards and act like task bar is at bottom. Leaving an empty space. Top part being blocked by actual task bar on top.
  4. If I maximize other windows on my 1st screen, they also maximizes like if task bar is at default bottom position. Leaving small space at bottom, and very top of window gets blocked by the actual task bar on top.
  5. restarting explorer.exe does fix it, just that it gets annoying everytime I have to restart explorer.exe
  6. I don't know if this matters but I have 2nd monitor's task bar disabled
  7. Okay maybe it matters because after I enabled task bar on 2nd monitor, issue doesn't occur, disabling it again, issues occur again.

Expected outcome

I hope changing scaling on 2nd monitor doesn't confuse windows where task bar actually is.

Actual outcome

Windows confuses where task bar is and some of functions act as if taskbar is at bottom when it's on top of the screen.

Additional info

clean install just few days ago. Both windows and explorer patcher
