Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#16 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 17:29:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#16 DisplayFusion Oh, that definitely could be! I believe it hooks explorer.exe so it could be contributing to the issue for sure. Could you try uninstalling Clover to see if that makes any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#15 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 08:16:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#15 DisplayFusion Not really, the only thing I could think of are the Intel HD Graphics driver. I'm using Clover for Windows Explorer Tabs, though, could that be an issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#14 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 16:36:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#14 DisplayFusion Ok, so explorer.exe is definitely just getting into a state where it's not refreshing that section of the monitor properly. However, I don't have a clue why that would be happening. Do you have any other software that modifies the desktop? (e.g. Stardock Fences or something similar) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#13 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 08:01:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#13 DisplayFusion Yes, that does fix the issue. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#12 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 19:03:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#12 DisplayFusion Interesting! So the generated image is correct, but the desktop itself is not. It's almost as if Windows just isn't refreshing the bottom and side of the desktop on that monitor for some reason. If you kill explorer.exe in Task Manager, then re-launch it with File > Run new task > explorer.exe, does it update properly? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#11 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 07:10:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#11 DisplayFusion Sure, here you go.

The scaling shouldn't make a difference as DisplayFusion can account for that. Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info (copied when the wallpaper issue is present):

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

My suspicion is that there is a correlation to my notebook's display (left on the screenshot), which is a high DPI display. The other two monitors are standard DPI displays. Also, it has a 150% scaling - see second screenshot. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#6 Thu, 16 Aug 2018 19:53:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#6 DisplayFusion Ok, can you also try logging out/in after disabling that setting and then let me know if the issue still comes up again? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#5 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 08:21:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#5 DisplayFusion I did so, and unfortunately the issue immediately occured. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#4 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 19:24:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-different-dpi-issue/?ID=14371729-4d83-4b2f-bc4e-690bf2eba9c9#4 DisplayFusion Ok, in the DisplayFusion Wallpaper window, could you click the Wallpaper Settings button, and disable the "Use transitions when changing..." option, apply the settings, and then let me know if you still run into this issue?

When the notebook is docked or connected to an external display via displayport, the notebook's display shows a shrunk wallpaper - see attached screenshot. ]]>
