Taskbar blinking when I refresh Desktop
Ok guys... Everytime I refresh my desktop, my taskbar blinks!

Tried lots of things...

-Disabled Display fusion software
-Disabled GeForce Experience Overlay
-Disabled windows automatic color
-Tried disabling some options in WE in performance/general

This "glitch" effect in the taskbar annoys me!
Someone knows how to fix this crap?

Could you run our scan tool and share the log file as described here:

You have Nvidia Share running, that usually does not cause issues like that but you should try turning it off in Nvidia GeForce Experience because it can cause performance issues in some cases.

Other than that, the issue is likely either coming from DisplayFusion or Fences (or maybe a combination), there is no general blinking taskbar issue that we're aware of. Even when turning Fences off, it may still be injected into Wallpaper Engine or the Windows Explorer. After turning fences off, try running our scan tool again and make sure these lines do not appear again in the log file (while Wallpaper Engine is running):

I've uninstalled Fences and now it's working fine!
Do you guys want a new log to try check the problem or it's fine with that one?

Glad you got that resolved! But no, it's fine, there is nothing we can really do about this. Fences is programmed in a way that it injects random bits of code into other applications (not just Wallpaper Engine) which can cause random hickups like that.

Aw crap... Think I'm going to try another software like Fences then. Thanks!

Hi there, where can I find those fences, I am a little confused. I have the same problem, but I did not quite understand how you fixed it...
