I don’t know why, but suddenly it’s working with version 12.0.1. I didn’t change anything,I didn't adjust the delay or check the "Windows text" box. Discord wasn't set to autostart in Windows or within the app itself. I can't explain it, maybe it was just a Discord or Windows bug. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping me. =) ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#21 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:58:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#21 DisplayFusion Okay, I stand corrected. Discord itself is set so it doesn't start automatically with Windows. It's actually being launched via DisplayFusion. ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#20 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 07:08:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#20 DisplayFusion Discord launches automatically on Windows startup, just as I intended and configured within the Discord settings.

It seems to work ok for me in testing here, I didn't realize you had a Trigger setup for launching Discord from within DisplayFusion. Can you confirm that the "Open Discord on Startup" option in Discord Settings > Windows Settings is set to disabled? That's the only thing that I can think of here, is that Discord is starting itself up before DisplayFusion launches, instead of being launched by the DisplayFusion Trigger. ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#18 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 22:18:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#18 DisplayFusion Sure =) ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#17 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:47:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#17 DisplayFusion Could you send me a backup of your DisplayFusion Settings?

It sounds like the issue is actually related to the work area changing when the taskbar is created then, not the Trigger. If Discord is starting before DisplayFusion, the Trigger can't fire, it would just be that Windows is opening it in its last position. So it's like this:

  • Discord starts, opens in correct position as remembered by Windows
  • DisplayFusion starts, taskbar gets created and the Windows work area changes, for some reason Discord window moves because of this

I'll do some testing here with your monitor layout and DisplayFusion settings to see if I can reproduce this here. ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#13 Sat, 17 Jan 2026 09:46:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#13 DisplayFusion I tested the behavior with DisplayFusion versions 11.1.1 and 12.0.2 Beta 7.

In both versions, Discord appears first in the Windows Task Manager under Details as an .exe process, followed by DisplayFusion.

Expected Behavior:
The trigger should position the Discord window according to the configured rules, as it does in version 11.1.1.

Actual Behavior:
With 12.0.2 Beta 7, the trigger does not behave correctly.
The Discord window is initially placed at the correct position. However, as soon as the secondary taskbar is initialized, the Discord window is moved to a different position that does not match the trigger configuration.

Regression:
This issue does not occur in 11.1.1, where the trigger works reliably and as expected. ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#12 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:30:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#12 DisplayFusion If Discord starts before DisplayFusion does, it's impossible for the DisplayFusion Trigger to detect the Discord window being created so the trigger wouldn't fire.

Discord opens a splash window first which might be causing some issues as we've adjusted the way triggers are processed in v12. Two things to try here:

1. Set the "Delay before checking match condition" in your move trigger to something like 5000ms. If that fixes it, you can lower the value until it breaks, and then set it slightly higher

2. Try using the "Window Text" match condition, so it looks for the specific window you're trying to move, rather than the exe. If you use the "Window Text" condition, you'll need the "Delay before checking match condition" value set as well. ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#7 Tue, 06 Jan 2026 19:27:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#7 DisplayFusion Sure, no problem. =) ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#6 Tue, 06 Jan 2026 15:29:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#6 DisplayFusion Can you send me a screenshot of the trigger you created? ]]> RE: Issues with Triggers and Startup Behavior in DisplayFusion 12 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#5 Sun, 04 Jan 2026 08:28:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issues-with-triggers-and-startup-behavior-in-displayfusion-12/?ID=019b6e69-86ec-73a2-9eec-cffa8755cd7f#5 DisplayFusion I have now installed version 11.1.1, and the problems are gone.

Normally, Discord should start at a specific position that I defined using a trigger. Discord is therefore set to launch on startup. However, this no longer happens, and I have to close Discord and restart it once DisplayFusion has finally started.
Since version 12, DisplayFusion also takes noticeably longer to start. ]]>
