Hi, unfortunately, that did not help. Nothing has changed. I will upload another log when it occurs again. ]]> RE: Restarting Windows Explorer no longer fixes issues with DF https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restarting-windows-explorer-no-longer-fixes-issues-with-df/?ID=018d3760-a2e6-73c7-be09-25e19c7486ce#7 Wed, 20 Mar 2024 14:55:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restarting-windows-explorer-no-longer-fixes-issues-with-df/?ID=018d3760-a2e6-73c7-be09-25e19c7486ce#7 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that should fix this up, you can grab it here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/.

Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

In the past this would always work and DF would also restart itself (I think?) but now it doesn't do that and the DF taskbars just disappear. I have to exit DF and run it again. Running it again also gives an pop up window stating it's already running and if I want to replace the currently running DF which I always do and that fixes it but it's still extra steps when in the past it was a simple as restarting WE from task manager. ]]>
