We'll let you know when it's available to try out.

Can you grab me two separate copies of that file, one when it's working and one when it isn't? ]]> RE: Launched pinned program creates new taskbar item and has different exe name in right click menu? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/launched-pinned-program-creates-new-taskbar-item-and-has-different-exe-name-in-right-click-menu/?ID=019c61ce-6f9b-7050-9cce-c867c6e206d4#3 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:45:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/launched-pinned-program-creates-new-taskbar-item-and-has-different-exe-name-in-right-click-menu/?ID=019c61ce-6f9b-7050-9cce-c867c6e206d4#3 DisplayFusion Attached ]]> RE: Launched pinned program creates new taskbar item and has different exe name in right click menu? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/launched-pinned-program-creates-new-taskbar-item-and-has-different-exe-name-in-right-click-menu/?ID=019c61ce-6f9b-7050-9cce-c867c6e206d4#2 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:52:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/launched-pinned-program-creates-new-taskbar-item-and-has-different-exe-name-in-right-click-menu/?ID=019c61ce-6f9b-7050-9cce-c867c6e206d4#2 DisplayFusion Could you do the following for the firefox window when it's combined, and again when it's moved back and not combined?

  • Install one of our other apps, Window Inspector: https://www.binaryfortress.com/windowinspector (it's free)
  • Open the affected application
  • Open Window Inspector
  • Hover over the affected window with your mouse so that the affected window's info shows in the Window Inspector window
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + F1 to freeze the timer in Window Inspector
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + F2 to save the info from Window Inspector to a file
  • Send me the file from the previous step

I have a number of programs that I launch via a .BAT file and noticed this occurs regularly with these, but I also have had it when launching a pinned item from a desktop shortcut/start menu etc.

Screenshots attached:

Screenshot 1)
Firefox was opened by clicking the circled pinned icon, at some point the Firefox tab was moved to another monitor (as a 2nd Firefox instance with the original circled Firefox tab still running) and then moved back to the original monitor.
It didn’t combine with the original tab (which had been shut down since) but the right-click menu shows it as Unknown not Firefox

Screenshot 2)
BAT file launch example: You can see StreamLabs hasn’t opened on its pinned taskbar item, but it also doesn’t show the correct exe name in the right-click menu, shows Windows Command Processor" instead.
All the other pinned taskbar items in that screenshot were launched from the same BAT file, but this issue can occur with any of them, or multiple at the same time. ]]>
