I just encountered the same issue and was able to solve it by enabling the compability setting "Force DisplayFusion to treat this as a full screen application" for Remote Desktop (

C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe

)

Hi Philip,

We are aware of this issue if you set the remote desktop to span multiple monitors, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to let you know if we have any news on the issue in the future.

Thanks!

DisplayFusion taskbar above Windows Remote Desktop

Been working from home, remoting in through my personal multi-monitor setup.
I recently replaced one of my 4 monitors with a 4K screen (the rest are 1080p).
I followed these instructions to exclude the new 4K monitor from the remote session as I plan to use it for personal applications while the RDP is active.
However, after excluding one monitor from the RDP, the DisplayFusion taskbars now all show on top of the fullscreen RDP. I suspect this is because DF does not recognize the fullscreen instance on both screens to trigger hiding the taskbar, because of some issue with multi-fullscreen application.
Is there a setting or function I can implement to always have the RDP on top of the DisplayFusion taskbars? Or is this something to add to the bug list?
