Ah okay, I'm not too sure what would cause that then, maybe monitor ID's changing on boot or something? There isn't much we can do from our end if it's happening without DisplayFusion running though

I didn't think that Display Fusion was the problem, I posted in this forum because I was sure to find multiple monitor users and hoped that someone might have experienced a similar issue. ]]> RE: Desktop icons split between main monitor and second monitor after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#7 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 19:02:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#7 DisplayFusion The problem has disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared.

It doesn't happen if you just restart DisplayFusion?


It only happens when Windows starts. ]]> RE: Desktop icons split between main monitor and second monitor after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#4 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:08:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#4 DisplayFusion It doesn't happen if you just restart DisplayFusion? ]]> RE: Desktop icons split between main monitor and second monitor after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#3 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:55:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#3 DisplayFusion

It's likely due to Windows shuffling the icons when the work area changes, which happens when DisplayFusion adds it's taskbars. If you close and re-launch DisplayFusion, does the same thing happen?


I'm not sure what you mean by "Windows shuffling the icons when the work area changes".
The problem occurs at Windows start up. ]]> RE: Desktop icons split between main monitor and second monitor after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#2 Tue, 14 Jan 2025 14:39:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/desktop-icons-split-between-main-monitor-and-second-monitor-after-reboot/?ID=01946185-d6b3-7447-9596-eb5f94c7aa07#2 DisplayFusion It's likely due to Windows shuffling the icons when the work area changes, which happens when DisplayFusion adds it's taskbars.

Suddenly my desktop icons get split between monitors at start up.
I can of course correct this with my Desktop Icon Profile, but I'd like to find out why it happens and put a stop to it.
Autoarrange and Align to grid are switched off. ]]>
