When you've got the 4 monitors, monitor ID 1 (the Dell portrait monitor that's on the right) has a Y value of -237, but when you switch to the 3 monitors, it has a Y value of -251.

When you've got the 3 monitors enabled, could you give this a try?

Open the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration
Right-click monitor ID 1 and choose "Set Monitor Location"
Set the Y value to -237
Re-configure the splits if needed
Re-save the profile

That should hopefully fix it up

Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Click the "Export Info to File" button
Reply with the file attached
Close the settings window

I am able to manually select the profile so I don't have to re-create the splits every time, but there's still a manual step involved. ]]> RE: Profiles with splits don't automatically load when monitor disconnected/reconnected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#6 Wed, 17 May 2023 20:11:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#6 DisplayFusion Ok, so something like this?

4 monitors connected, all 4 have splits enabled
Disconnect monitor 4
Monitor 1 still has its splits, but monitors 2 and 3 lose theirs?

All the monitors have at least 1 split enabled. When I start work, I'm effectively disconnecting the 4th monitor, and going back to 3. I have a 3 monitor and a 4 monitor profile with the splits all set, and can manually select the profile and am off to the races. If I don't select the profile manually, only my primary monitor's splits are remembered. ]]> RE: Profiles with splits don't automatically load when monitor disconnected/reconnected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#4 Mon, 15 May 2023 14:27:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#4 DisplayFusion Moved this to a new topic. Could you describe one of the scenarios in detail? I'll do some further testing here. (e.g. is it something like you have two monitors enabled, both with splits configured, and you enable a third monitor, the splits get cleared?) ]]> RE: Profiles with splits don't automatically load when monitor disconnected/reconnected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#3 Mon, 15 May 2023 13:59:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#3 DisplayFusion So I played around a bit, and found that if I manually select the profiles, the splits are there, but it doesn't automatically switch profiles. I also had this problem prior to 10.0, and after updating, my issue was unaffected. ]]> RE: Profiles with splits don't automatically load when monitor disconnected/reconnected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#2 Thu, 11 May 2023 17:33:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0#2 DisplayFusion @David Doran364551: If you save each configuration as a monitor profile, it should automatically re-apply the splits when it detects those monitors are there. If you've got the profiles saved already and it's not loading them automatically, does manually loading the profile work, or do you have to set it up using the splits and padding window? ]]> Profiles with splits don't automatically load when monitor disconnected/reconnected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0 Thu, 11 May 2023 14:51:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/profiles-with-splits-dont-automatically-load-when-monitor-disconnectedreconnected/?ID=0d2e3de0-b61b-4219-a311-74aaeb56f2e0 DisplayFusion I have an issue, where if I add/remove a monitor, my main monitor retains the splits I have set, but the other monitors "forget" that they had a split set up. This requires me to re-establish the splits every time I change monitor configurations. Is there a way to get the splits to save to the monitor? I'd imagine this is similar to docking/undocking a laptop, but in my case, I have a 4th monitor that I use for my work computer during the day, and I use a displayport switchbox to connect it back to my main PC during nights and weekends. ]]>
