It looks like you are on 10.0 beta 9, does this issue happen on v9.9?

Can you also try disabling the DisplayFusion taskbar on your primary monitor via that advanced settting, and see if that helps?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#9 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 23:30:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#9 DisplayFusion That's correct. I will note that I've been a long time DF user, and this issue only started relatively recently. Was there a DF update?

Otherwise the only other thing I can think of is that I did force DF to be on both monitors and also ungrouped the buttons. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#8 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 15:12:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#8 DisplayFusion Ah, so disabling DisplayFusion taskbars is what fixes it? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#7 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:33:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#7 DisplayFusion Disabling hooking doesn't seem to change the outcome ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#6 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 14:53:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#6 DisplayFusion Interesting, can you try running with each setting individually and see which one fixes it?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#5 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 23:41:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#5 DisplayFusion Thanks Owen, that has fixed it for now (basically same as turning DF off) but its not exactly an ideal solution. I do have itchy fingers and alt tab quite a bit in queues and stuff.

Do you know the root cause? Is this something that can be fixed in a future build? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#4 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 17:03:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#4 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over. In the DisplayFusion Settings > Compatibility tab, can you add in your game and turn on "Disable Application Hooks (this application only)", along with "Disable DisplayFusion Taskbars while this application is running", and see if the issue persists after a restart?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#3 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 14:03:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#3 DisplayFusion Here you go Owen! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#2 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 13:55:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-stealing-focus-fullscreen-3d-applications/?ID=086d0477-aa20-48a3-bbcf-ad7d1ba1dc30#2 DisplayFusion Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info?

I need to keep retrying until it randomly works. Closing DisplayFusion fixes the issue instantly.
What's interesting is the bug happens mainly when the game itself enters a match. It works fine when in queue / menu. Probably something to do with the Graphics card kicking in?

EDIT:

Not sure how material this is, but I have DisplayFusion taskbars appearing on both screens, replacing the default windows one ]]>
