When using the DisplayFusion multi-monitor taskbar function and having the Windows multi-monitor taskbar disabled the new task view function does not work properly and only show the windows which are on your main screen's taskbar.
It would be great if every monitor would show the windows it holds.

Here is an example, the right and left screen windows are not shown.


I'm using DisplayFusion 7.2.

i am having this issue as well

Same here

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm seeing the same behavior.

Great, thanks for the quick response. Good to know it's being looked at, and I can live with having all of the icons on the main taskbar for now.

do you know if this fix will be included in this version? i have tons of windows open always so it makes it mostly unusable.

i hope you code ninjas can figure it out. is it possible to let windows run the taskbars so it doesnt mess with anything to get virtual desktops working or am i SOL?

Hello everyone! I was having the same problem and thought that it was because of the updates Microsoft sent out. You'll need to type Settings- ->System- ->Multitasking. In the right-hand pane, the Virtual Desktops section gives you control over what is displayed on the Taskbar and when Alt+Tab is pressed. I forgot that I had changed mine and it showed all of the windows that were open on each desktop. So, maybe this is what happened to you all's desktop. Give it a shot.

I found one feature in win 10. When on second display open new windows apps like new settings window or calculator or windows store they are displayed, but old classik windows did't

Subscribing. Ran across this issue today.

Any updates on this issue?

Any updates here?

The puzzling thing is that it was not a problem until I reformatted my computer and reinstalled everything.

This is taking a long time to fix!

Was this ever fixed? Only have the pro license for the DF taskbar and little issues like this are fairly aggravating.

I'm not a heavy Taskbar user. Option 2 works best for my needs
Option 1 - Using DF Multi-Monitor Taskbar
Setting: DF Settings/Taskbar - Set the DisplayFusion Taskbar Mode to "Windows shows all, DisplayFusion shows relevant"
Result: On the Taskbar of Monitor #2 you can see open apps from your other virtual desktop. When you click one, the other virtual desktop opens.

Option 2 - Using Windows Multi-Monitor Taskbar
Setting 1: DF Settings/Taskbar - Uncheck the box nex to "Enable Multi-Monitor Taskbars"
Setting 2: Windows Taskbar Multiple Displays/Show Taskbar buttons/Taskbar where window is open
Result: All monitors are used for a virtual desktop. On the Taskbar of Monitor #2 you only see open apps for your current virtual desktop. *IMHO this is how a virtual desktop should work.

I have found a workaround. Instead of using the Windows virtual desktops, I tried this freeware:
http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/

I've installed it and with the tray icon I can switch between multiple virtual desktops and it works perfectly so far with DisplayFusion

Thanks Kristopher Walsh!

Option 1 worked great for me!

Seems if the setting for (Taskbar mode, All taskbars show relevant windows (makes sense that active windows also follow, hence: Relevant Windows).

Changing to Windows taskbars shows all windows, DisplayFusion shows relevant windows. releases the active windows to stay on the desktop they are assigned.

Using three monitors and an HDTV (movies, video and training) and 4 Desktops give me an effective 16 screens to segregate specific processes while working. Option 1separates all software tasks to keep me organized and increases my productivity.

Holy cow this must be a seriously non-trivial problem to resolve! You folks are usually pretty darn quick to resolve significant issues. I actually only started working with virtual desktops recently, and was mostly using them on my primary display (Win10 taskbar). Only tonight, as I tried in vain to figure out how to put the Task View button onto the DF taskbar did I realize that Task View wasn't working properly on display 2 (DF taskbar). Ah well.

this saved me a lot of heartache. I'll miss having the displayfusion hotbar, but task view working is more important for me.

It's 2022 and I just hit this one. Been making me crazy trying to figure out why virtual desktops seemed to have regressed. The difference was I was running Display Fusion on this machine. Last post above here nicely, in one post, saved me more pain. For now option 2 is working for me. Much thanks.
