Taskbar clock clipped. Just started.

from Stardock Forums

Starting today, the clock shown on the primary monitor is now clipped, with the upper half of the clock text not shown.  This was not the case last week.  The clock on secondary monitors appears correctly.  Note that my primary monitor is at 150%, while secondary monitor is at 200%.

Have tried:

  • Restarting Explorer
  • Resizing the taskbar
  • Showing seconds on the clock

Have not tried yet:

  • Logging out
  • Restarting machine
  • Changing DPI

Just not practical for me to do so currently.

This is the primary monitor at 150%:

It appears that the taskbar notification icons and clock are just not aligned from top-to-bottom resulting in the clipping. 

Here is the display from the secondary panel, at 200% DPI:

Update:  Restarting does not help.  Neither does changing DPI from 150% to 100% or to 200%.  

Additionally, I see that the Start button and Search box are also aligned towards the top and that the top of the Search box is clipped as well.

chuckop,

Thanks for reporting, we do not support issues on Insider/beta/preview builds of Windows

Happened to me when KB5022913 got installed overnight (Release Preview update), systray and start button were shifted down in my case so I could only see the top half, but the buttons still worked.

I've uninstalled KB5022913 and that has fixed the problem for me, but they'll probably need to take a look before it is generally released.

TranslucentTB is also broken with KB5022913 installed.

We have an internal build in testing which should resolve the issues with the release preview which should be released before it makes it to release builds.

I am guessing you have a tablet device?

I do have a tablet (Surface Book 3), but am not using it as such.

It's clear that this dev channel release is broken with regard to taskbar display.  The problem is actually worse WITHOUT Start11 managing the taskbar.

Thanks Neil, that's great news. I'm running a Surface Go 2, tried with a USB-C dock with two monitors plugged in and without the dock, the problem persisted.
