For the past few weeks and maybe more it has become a daily thing.

Another thing it fixed that was driving me nuts is when the top of my windows (the bar where I can move them around) got opened underneath the taskbar (which I keep at the top) ... As of today my windows are all on top of the taskbar and I can easily move and resize them.

yeah!

Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

all drivers are current, all updates are current.

This is described in this post from 2010 :

The very last entry in this discussion was from July, 2013.
With display fusion running, I don't have a DWM.exe in my process list. When I exit display fusion, no DWM.exe appears in task list. so this workaround isn't doing it for me.

I did change my settings so that I hit the ctrl key and it shows a circle around the mouse pointer, which I have previously not ever used. The widest circle remained, but then with esc it disappeared and so did my floating piece.

I'm not sure if this has anything whatsoever to do with display fusion, but it is quite irritating so I thought I would write just in case someone else has experienced the same here.

thanks much! ]]>
