For the record, I was able to replicate this with Guardians of the Galaxy, Witcher 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Cyberpunk 2077. I didn't try any other games whilst trying to solve this issue, but it looks like the results would've been similar given the games mostly aren't connected. Borderless fullscreen worked for each, but it was difficult to change the setting when I couldn't even get them to stay open! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#5 Fri, 07 Jan 2022 19:50:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#5 DisplayFusion Hi Craig,

That's strange it's happening for all of your games, we've only noted it with a few. Regardless, if they are all in the same folder, you can use a wildcard in the compatibility rule with an asterisks. For example, if your games are in a "steamapps" directory, you could use this path: *steamapps*

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#4 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 21:24:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#4 DisplayFusion Sorry, I missed that this was in the compatibility tab and not advanced settings. Activating these settings does fix the issue, however it's a fair bit of effort to add all games to this! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#3 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 21:17:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305#3 DisplayFusion I can't see an option matching that second one precisely? I went to advanced settings and enabled "Display Hooking the Windows Taskbar" and "Disable System Hooks (applications) and this did not fix the issue. If I've selected the wrong taskbar setting, please let me know which one I need exactly.

Can you try adding these compatibility setting in the DisplayFusion Settings window, and see if it helps?

1) Disable Application Hooks

2) Disable DisplayFusion taskbars while this application is running

Try one or both of those setting enabled, and let me know if the issue persists.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305 Wed, 05 Jan 2022 19:34:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-forces-exclusive-fullscreen-games-to-minimise/?ID=b6790c6c-07a0-479e-87e4-a202494e5305 DisplayFusion Hey, I've started having the issue in the last few weeks where games in exclusive fullscreen mode won't stay focused at all, and I've narrowed the issue down to DisplayFusion. I was on version 9.9 and upgraded to the 10.0 beta, following advice from a similar thread:https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-force-minimizing-full-screen-game/?ID=e8fbef4f-bcbd-4aef-b049-5c9595a707d7 but the result is the same. Is there anything I can do to fix this? My monitor is not split at all. ]]>
