From time to time the taskbar stops showing which programs are open. If I pause Actual Windows Manager they start showing again and continue when I resume for a period and then it stops again, sometimes a few hours or a few days later. This has been happening for some time. I have only just identified it as a AWM issue. Windows 10 Version 21H1 AWM v8.14.5

Hello, Stephen

Thank you for contacting us.

Could you describe the problem more detailed? Does the problem happen with all taskbar buttons or only with some of them? If the latter then are these some particular apps or it can happen with any app?

Is the option "Replace the system taskbar" enabled in the settings of Actual Window Manager or you use the Windows taskbar on the main monitor (AWM configuration module > Multiple Monitors > Taskbar > Replace the system taskbar)? Does the problem affect only the Actual Window Manager taskbar? If you drag a window to the main monitor - will its taskbar button appear in the Windows taskbar?

Are the values of the "Change the size of text..." option in the standard Windows display settings increased for some of the monitors (are they more than 100%)? If yes, then specify the values for each monitor.

Could you specify the exact number of your Windows build (type winver in the Search field of the Windows Start menu, press Enter. The window containing the build number will appear).

Could you send us your Actual Window Manager configuration files using the Send to Tech Support tool (AWM configuration module > Tools > Configuration > Send to Tech Support)?

Best regards.
