ep_taskbar does not resize properly after DPI changes caused by monitor changes #3796
Description
After the 24H2 update Microsoft changed the monitor settings it seems. And I think they're not happy with EP ;).
Usually when I am not behind my PC I turn off the monitor, the PC is still on to perform tasks, for example video editing etc. When the monitor is turned on again, Windows thinks it is a 'new' monitor and rearranges windows and window sizes.
I found out what was the cause: Windows added registry strings and keys thinking it's a new monitor. I deleted some and changed others. The problem was solved.
EP works fine so far. Two small things:
I use taskbar style Windows10 (ExplorerPatcher), with the latest ep_taskbar5. The issue does not happen with taskbar style Windows 11.
- When the monitor is turned off and on again while the PC is on, the taskbar partially disappears from the screen. The taskbar is halved. (When I check it with console in EP I see that there is a repositioning)
Normal taskbar:
After monitor off:
- Sometimes Explorer restarts and all windows close. Maybe to reset the taskbar?!
Thank you team EP! And the always great support!
