I have 4 monitors. The task bar icons on all but the main monitor freeze up shortly after starting the program. Left or right clicking or hovering over them does nothing. The clocks also show a different time - always a minute or 2 behind the main monitor. Then the clock will suddenly update, often jumping 2 minutes. The icons also don't show open or closed status. This never happened until I 'upgraded' to Win10. I just downloaded DFP 8.0 Beta 7 and they seem to be working though they are really sluggish. Did this version address this issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#14 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:06:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#14 DisplayFusion Sounds good, thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#13 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 18:56:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#13 DisplayFusion Unfortunately I just discovered restoring the old backup recreated the triggers but did not enable triggers overall, so they have not been running.

I enabled triggers and will watch to see what happens. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#12 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:55:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#12 DisplayFusion Ok, just keep me posted if you run into trouble again! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#11 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:30:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#11 DisplayFusion I have not seen any freezing issues, but I have not been at my desk as much as normal. So far I feel this is better. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#10 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 18:00:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#10 DisplayFusion Just checking in to see how this has been since updating to Beta 4 ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#9 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:50:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#9 DisplayFusion I had no issues in the previous version. I have upgraded to 8.0 beta 4 today and have yet to see any issues.

Yes, I have a fair number of trigger rules. Unfortunately, downgrading to 7 and then upgrading back to 8 erased the rules so I had to restore the backup I made before downgrading.

I will run a while and see what happens in beta 4. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#8 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 19:13:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#8 DisplayFusion Interesting! Do you have any Trigger rules setup in the beta? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#7 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 18:29:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#7 DisplayFusion I don't see the problems occurring with 7.3.4 after a few days of use. I wonder if triggers in 8 are somehow causing the issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#6 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 17:36:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#6 DisplayFusion Ok, that's really strange! We haven't really made that many changes for 8.0 Beta 1 and 2. If you roll back to 7.3.4, do you still run into this issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#5 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:21:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#5 DisplayFusion So far it does not seem to have made a major difference. This has been the most unstable version of DF I have used.

It is still not responding to system tray icon clicks periodically and requiring me to kill the process to regain responsiveness. When this happens I also see funny task bar issues even though I have the DF secondary taskbar disabled. This only started recently. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#4 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 19:46:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#4 DisplayFusion @NetMage: Did disabling the DisplayFusion taskbar make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#3 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 22:38:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#3 DisplayFusion I am seeing something similar lately (DF 8 Beta 2, Win10 x64) on my second monitor. The DF icon in the system tray is also unresponsive to right-clicks.

If I left-click it to open settings, I can disable/enable multi-monitor taskbars bu it still stops refreshing or showing icons. Also the top of windows on the second monitor seem to have redraw issues.

Attached are my troubleshooting info.

I have switched to the Win10 taskbar on the second monitor to see how that does and if the issue stops happening. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#2 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:36:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-freezing-all-the-time/?ID=a8c38028-660a-446c-afa4-551441a01aab#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?

Maybe it was an update? I don't know.

I explained the situation on Steam but nobody's really helping me.
Here's my problem:

My right monitor's taskbar with DisplayFusion has been completely unresponsive, frozen. I can't click on the Internet, I can't click on icons and the time never changes.
I have to close DisplayFusion with Task manager (or just using the icon that is in my left monitor), open it again, and then it works again but it always goes back to the same problem (at random times).

The main reason I got DisplayFusion is to get a taskbar on my right monitor and it's not working!
Any help? ]]>
