I don't know if this helps you but when I alt-tab after swtiching virtual desktops I have to wait a couple of seconds for DisplayFusion to catch up and show the correct virtual desktop (else it shows the windows on the previous desktop). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639#3 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 19:59:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639#3 DisplayFusion I tried this, but I'm still having the issue when I alt-tab after switching virtual desktops where it will alt-tab to a window on the last virtual desktop and switch back to that virtual desktop. This is only fixed if I left click every time I switch virtual desktops in order for that desktop to be focused. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639#2 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 01:00:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639#2 DisplayFusion Thanks for posting. I'd written off using both Display fusion and virtual desktops for years. Best of both worlds = happy days! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639 Thu, 09 Jun 2022 21:56:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-virtual-desktop-displayfusion-working/?ID=392ea88b-5a41-4232-96f8-5ff94afb0639 DisplayFusion I just started using DisplayFusion and like much about it. I think I just resolved a full-stop issue that has persisted for some time and was a barrier to my adopting DisplayFusion. Posting my config in case it helps others.

I use virtual desktops in a Win10 Pro (64b) system with two monitors connected to my graphics card and one virtual monitor on a laptop created by use of SpaceDesk. So, in effect, I have three monitors.

I had the issue when using DisplayFusion where all the windows on my non-primary displays would appear on all 4 of my virtual desktops. I seem to have resolved that issue.

Two configuration changes:

* Adjust DisplayFusion Settings
* Adjust Windows Task Bar Settings

Below are the steps I took:

* Adjust DisplayFusion Settings:
* Disable "Enable Multi-Monitor Taskbars (show a taskbar on each monitor)
* Right click on the windows task bar and select "Taskbar settings"
* Scroll down to the Multiple Displays section:
* Under "Multiple displays", enable taskbars on all displays
* Open drop-down and select "Taskbar where window is open"

Finished

That should enable the set of behaviors desired.

* I can alt-tab through open apps (limited to those on the currently active desktop)
* Window icons appear on the taskbar on the associate monitor where the app is
* Ctrl+Win+L arrow or R arrow cycles through virtual desktops and they all function normally

If you want a window to appear on all desktops (in the same position) follow these steps:

* Ensure task view is enabled by right clicking on the Windows task bar and selecting "Show Task View button"
* Click the taskbar button to see your virtual desktops
* Hover mouse over window to display on all virtual desktops and right click.
* Select "Show this window on all desktops"

Finished

I use a VoIP phone and have the dialer pinned to always appear on the far right side of all my virtual desktops. Works great for me.
