Thanks for the help. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2#3 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 20:39:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2#3 DisplayFusion I'm assuming you are referring to "Window Preview Style" in the Taskbar portion of Settings. I have "Windows default style" selected and it currently shows none. I've tried "Windows default style" as well and that also did nothing. See attached. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2#2 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 19:58:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2#2 DisplayFusion The DF Taskbar does offer previews, do you have them disabled in the Taskbar section of settings?

Also, I have the Windows registry tweak enabled so left-click on a group brings up the first window, and continued clicking rotates through the group.

Still works in Windows 10... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:32:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/all-applications-with-stacked-windows-wont-come-to-foreground-when-clicked/?ID=1b15f807-0759-43f1-adb5-36e874a069a2 DisplayFusion If I have two different windows of an application, let's say Chrome, open on the same non-primary monitor, the icons get grouped on the Display Fusion taskbar. But if neither of them are the active application, when I click on their group of icons on the Display Fusion taskbar, nothing happens. They stay in the background. On the Windows taskbar, I have to hover the cursor over the group and then click on the "preview" of the instance that I want, but Display Fusion does not offer "Previews" to choose from.

I've figured out a workaround to just disable app grouping on the DF taskbar, but it seems like there would be a better solution. Am I missing something, or is this just an issue that doesn't have a better solution yet? ]]>
