Perhaps it was just a fluke, but if it happens again the next time you update Chrome, please let me know! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/35-beta-10-taskbar-shortcut-doesnt-work-after-re-installing-the-target-application/?ID=853b01c2-3b2a-44bf-a8fa-e5d727133a41#2 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 02:10:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/35-beta-10-taskbar-shortcut-doesnt-work-after-re-installing-the-target-application/?ID=853b01c2-3b2a-44bf-a8fa-e5d727133a41#2 DisplayFusion Interesting! I'll check this out and see what I can find.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/35-beta-10-taskbar-shortcut-doesnt-work-after-re-installing-the-target-application/?ID=853b01c2-3b2a-44bf-a8fa-e5d727133a41 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:14:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/35-beta-10-taskbar-shortcut-doesnt-work-after-re-installing-the-target-application/?ID=853b01c2-3b2a-44bf-a8fa-e5d727133a41 DisplayFusion Today I had to re-install Google Chrome because there was a weird Cache issue after the previous update. However as you may know I've got a shortcut on my native Windows taskbar and on both of my DF taskbars.

The path or the executable of Google Chrome didn't change at all, nothing in particular did change, except that I re-installed it.
Unfortunately DisplayFusion refuses to start Google Chrome when clicking on it's icon. Adding a new shortcut or even removing the old shortcut didn't worked too.

I tried to re-add the shortcut by selecting the chrome.exe itself and by selecting it from the running applications. Both didn't managed to make it working again, so I enabled detailed logging in DisplayFusion and spammed lots of clicks on the Chrome shortcut, started around 21:55 pm until 22:12 pm.

Restarting DF fixed the issue - hope you can find the error inside the DF.log
