We'll test it out with GTA 5 here. Regarding the taskbar not coming to the front when you alt+tab out, I just noticed that you said it happens without DisplayFusion running as well. I'm not aware of any Windows settings that will change that behaviour, unfortunately ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d#3 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 07:56:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d#3 DisplayFusion The taskbar not showing over the game when alt tabbing is with every game. GTA5 online is the one that im noticing so far that you literally can't alt tab to another program during. When you hold alt and hit tab you see a big window of GTA5 and nothing else to tab to. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d#2 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 20:37:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d#2 DisplayFusion When the DisplayFusion Alt+Tab Handler is disabled (so you're just getting the Windows Alt+Tab), the reason you're not seeing all windows is because Windows 10 won't show anything in Alt+Tab that isn't on the Windows taskbar. So, items that have been moved to the DisplayFusion taskbar don't show up in Alt+Tab for some reason. There are two workarounds, the first being to use DisplayFusion's Alt+Tab Handler (which you mentioned you had issues with, I'll get to that below), and the other workaround would be to set the Taskbar Mode (Settings > Taskbar) to one of the "Windows taskbar shows all" options.

Re: The DisplayFusion Alt+Tab Handler not working correctly. Which applications aren't showing up there for you?

Re: The taskbar not showing above your game windows. Could you list a few of the games that this happens with? We'll see if we can test this out here.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d Thu, 11 Aug 2016 01:12:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-can-i-completely-disable-dfs-interaction-with-alttab/?ID=4a202c51-25b3-4ad8-878a-f9e56085069d DisplayFusion Title sums it up, its a mess atm. Half the time it doesn't show all my progorams and only shows the ones on the main monitor and when i disable it in the options it still screws with the default windows one and makes it so it no longer shows everything either. Is there a way to disable this so i get plain default windows 10 alt tab with display fusion taskbars?

Also a general question that i hope you can answer. Before i formatted and reinstalled windows 10 pro when i would Alt+Tab with a game open in bordlerless windowed mode my task bar would immediately become visible overtop the game. It doesn't seem to work even without display fusion loaded up. Unless i alt tab to something that is on the same monitor as the game it doesn't work. Is there some setting im forgetting to change that made this occur? ]]>
