I've merged your topic into this one ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#8 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:09:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#8 DisplayFusion It sure was

We'll hopefully have this fixed up soon. In the meantime, they should work if you manually add them through Settings > Taskbar > Taskbar Shorcuts.

We'll be sure to post an update as soon as we've resolved this issue.

Seems this bug was introduced on the latest update.

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
DisplayFusion Pro 7.3 (Non-Steam) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#6 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 21:34:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#6 DisplayFusion I'm on DisplayFusion 7.3 (Steam). Fresh Windows 10 installation. Pinned Chrome to the taskbar on my left monitor (path C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe). Pressing it when Chrome is closed does nothing (doesn't launch application). When I open Chrome via original Windows taskbar, the pinned button does show as an open window and does minimize / maximize the window when pressed (as expected). Had the same thing happen with iTunes just prior to refreshing my Windows installation (blamed it on iTunes at first but seems to be a DisplayFusion issue).

Attached the troubleshooting log in case you need it.

Edit: just tried it with some more apps, seems to be a global issue (introduced in last update?). None of them launch when pressing the shortcut pinned on a DF taskbar. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#5 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 22:10:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-dont-launch-when-pressed/?ID=113df2b4-78d4-41ca-aa31-a9c6a504b379#5 DisplayFusion I got it to work by manually adding it, but right clicking to pin didn't work no matter what. Some sort of bug i guess.

I tried checking admin and unchecking force to start on monitor, neither changed anything.

Thanks!

I click the shotcut to open it and it works fine. I pin that shortcut and it just does nothing when i click it. All my other programs i pinned work fine though. Also i use the function to save and move window postions and i noticed the save doesn't stay after a restart is this normal?
