If you just press the Windows key on the second monitor, does the Start screen open correctly? If so, could you disable the "Taskbar: Invoke Start Menu Using Click Instead of Windows Key" option again, and try the following?

• Right-click the Windows taskbar, choose Properties
• Click the Navigation tab
• Enable the "Show Start on the display I'm using..." option
• Click OK, then try the DisplayFusion Start button again

If that still doesn't work, could you send over a debug log? Here are the steps for that:

• On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "Logging: Important Only"
• Restart DisplayFusion
• The next time it occurs, note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-buttonstart-button-not-working/?ID=085ee968-4431-428a-81a1-c4c9dfdaf540 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:42:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-buttonstart-button-not-working/?ID=085ee968-4431-428a-81a1-c4c9dfdaf540 DisplayFusion Hi, I recently bought DisplayFusion on Steam. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro and have two monitors. I am not using any start menu program such as Start8. Just vanilla Windows 8.1 Pro. On my secondary monitor the Windows button does not work. If I click on it once, nothing happens. If I click on it twice the Windows button on the primary monitor changes color but other than that, nothing happens.

I have searched the forums, but have not found a solution to the problem. I have tried changing the Advanced Settings-->Taskbar: Invoke Start Menu Using Click Instead of Windows Key to Simulated mouse click will be used, but that did not solve the problem though I did see it as the solution to other people who had a similar problem. However, those people all seemed to be using some Start Menu enhancement program like Start8 and I am not.

I tried using the latest general release. Now I am running the latest beta. The problem exists for me on both version. I am somewhat at a loss and hoping someone can help. ]]>
