Thanks for sending that over. It doesn't look like your Monitor Profiles have a Desktop Icon Profile attached to them. If you open the Monitor Configuration Window > Manage Monitor Profiles, are you able to add your Desktop Icon Profile there?


Yes I am able to. I didn't realise this had to be set, I've used it for a few years now and never had to set it, it just always worked. I'll give it a go and see if it gives me any issues. ]]> RE: Desktop Icon Profiles not holding and Taskbar Issues https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icon-profiles-not-holding-and-taskbar-issues/?ID=01933ac1-3633-7229-9bb6-f8232c94f98b#4 Tue, 19 Nov 2024 13:43:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icon-profiles-not-holding-and-taskbar-issues/?ID=01933ac1-3633-7229-9bb6-f8232c94f98b#4 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over.

Hello,

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

  • Open the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

For your taskbar, if you have "Show taskbar on all displays" enabled in Windows, that will disable the DisplayFusion taskbars, so this will be a Windows issue not a DisplayFusion issue.

Thanks!


See attached, thanks! ]]> RE: Desktop Icon Profiles not holding and Taskbar Issues https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icon-profiles-not-holding-and-taskbar-issues/?ID=01933ac1-3633-7229-9bb6-f8232c94f98b#2 Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:43:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icon-profiles-not-holding-and-taskbar-issues/?ID=01933ac1-3633-7229-9bb6-f8232c94f98b#2 DisplayFusion Hello,

For starters, I have several monitor profiles as I have 2 monitors at a desk, and 3 for a racing sim rig, another profile for just a single monitor at the sim rig, and one final profile for a single monitor my desk. Swapping profiles used to work flawlessly, it would load the correct desktop icon profile I had it set to. Recently within the past couple weeks I keep having to load my dual monitor icon profile, and then after a couple hours it seems to resort back to loading up on only my right side monitor in a default Windows orientation all stacked left side.

The desktop profile used to load also by default when selecting the dual desktop profile, but lately I have to load the monitor configuration, and then load the desktop profile. I have installed new applications to my desktop, so I have tried overwriting the icon profile so it knows the position of the new apps, but that hasn't helped. The other profiles don't seem to have the same issue.

I have also noticed, and maybe its unrelated be equally as annoying, my Windows taskbar is not holding my settings either. I like to have all my pinned applications appear on both monitors, and any open windows as well. This I have set in Windows to "Show taskbar on all displays". However, my right monitor is only showing windows that are open on that monitor. The only way I have been able to fix this is to open the Windows settings, and uncheck this option, and then activate it again. In doing so, this also makes me have to restore the desktop icon profile.

Is anybody else having these issues? I'm on Windows 10. ]]>
