And this is tied to my other request at the moment that you answered. I think what I need to do is this:
When I am at my main desk, I have a Monitor Profile Main Desk and should have a Windows Position Profile (WPP) Main Desk enabled. So two steps.
Then when I undock from my main desk and go to a Focus Room, I change to Monitor Profile Focus Room 1 and enabled WPP Focus Room 1, and so on.
Correct? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#8 Tue, 08 Sep 2026 20:33:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#8 DisplayFusion Are you using Window Position Profiles right now to move your windows around? If so you could create a different profile for each location/layout. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#7 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 21:10:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#7 DisplayFusion I basically want to unhook from one desk, move to a focus room (different desk), and have the apps as they sit on the desk I was just at, show up on the same monitors in the new hook up/focus room.
For example, my setup goes like this: 1=small laptop screen, 2=27" monitor, 3=27" monitor. And that all sits left to right. If Outlook is on monitor 2 at my desk, when I unhook and go to a focus room and hook back up, I want Outlook to be on monitor 2. That is not happening. Outlook is shifting to monitor 1. When I chosse to load a profile I saved, (where Outlook was on monitor 2), it still shows up on monitor 1. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#6 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 21:05:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#6 DisplayFusion If the setups are the same what are you hoping to use the different monitor profiles for? Maybe there's a way we can work around having the duplicate profiles. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#5 Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:16:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#5 DisplayFusion Based on your question, it is likely due to that the setup is identical. Basically it is this: We just moved to a new office. All desktop areas and side focus rooms have a 100% identical setup. I have my laptop, and then at each work station and focus room, there are two Dell 27" monitors. All the same model numbers. So, I assume that might be why it is detecting that. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#4 Mon, 31 Aug 2026 18:44:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#4 DisplayFusion That's interesting, what are the monitor layouts in each room? Can you let me know the positions of the monitors and the differences between the 2 rooms? I'm interested to find out why DisplayFusion thinks they're identical. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#3 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 19:21:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#3 DisplayFusion Yeah, I logged on this morning and it detected it as being in 441. But I wasn't. I'm in a different location. So what I would like is for it not to think I'm in 441. I need to keep that 441 profile for when I'm in that room. But it won't let me change to a different profile. And I don't want to rename it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#2 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 19:06:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53#2 DisplayFusion It looks like DisplayFusion is detecting your new monitor config as the already existing "Mason Office - 441" profile. You could just rename this profile if that works too. You can't have 2 monitor profiles with the same layout with different names unfortunately. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:13:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/unable-to-save-a-new-monitor-profile/?ID=01a03a20-b620-7115-be85-bdfca349fb53 DisplayFusion I am on a trial of DisplayFusion. I really like it so far. But I have hit a roadblock. I have been able to save monitor profiles and have 5 of them for various meeting rooms/desks/focus rooms in my office. Today, I am in a new location and need to create a new profile. However, after I change and get the settings correct, when I click "Save Profile", it thinks I want to overwrite a profile. I do not want to do that. It does not give me a choice to save a new profile. I am likely going to need to have ~10 profiles once I purchase a license.
I found an old discussion on this, but it was from 2018 and didn't see a resolution.
Can someone help with this? ]]>
