Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Edit: This beta also contains a center option for the start button

@13schishti533800 Is an error appearing when trying to split your monitors?

@DaleDietrich Sorry to hear! I'm still going to answer your questions for anyone else who comes across this. As mentioned earlier in this thread, our latest beta contains our updates for Windows 11. You can update by downloading the installer from our website, found here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/ (you can install this directly overtop of your current install). You can also update via the DisplayFusion Settings > Options > "Check for new beta versions" checkbox. All your settings should carry over, so you shouldn't need to create a backup, but it definitely doesn't hurt to create one :). You can create a backup via the DisplayFusion Settings > Options > "Export Settings".

Thanks! ]]> RE: Is DF going to work after I update to Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#34 Tue, 19 Oct 2021 20:07:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#34 DisplayFusion

I'm also going to look into alternative solutions for the issues I use DisplayFusion for...
I don't like being in the dark. Is DF on W11 gonna be a mess for a week, a month, a year?
Things I use DF for: full functionality on all taskbars (systray etc.), auto-hide taskbar on my oled tv, shortcut key to dimming my oled tv. ]]> RE: Is DF going to work after I update to Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#33 Tue, 19 Oct 2021 20:04:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#33 DisplayFusion

This is somewhat helpful, but it doesn't shorten the task bar, I don't like it spanned all the way across my silly 49" monitor and I guess I kinda don't need multi monitor zones as FZ Power toys has it and W11 already has some of it built in ;)
I also can't have more than one wallpaper on the same screen like I could with DF but I can have more than one desktop which has been built in with several versions of windows now
You are right, DF is no longer much of use and FZPT can remember window positions without having to make window profiles it seems.

Came looking didn't see anything about a beta or official version and like this guy said I have read that there would be a version available by win11 launch, win11 has been out for 2 weeks now and we still have outdated version of DF which is 9.8
Seriously? my start menu is messed up, instead of the start menu opening in the middle of the screen it opens on the far right and there's no way to move this.
How do we get an updated version or even the beta? I am hoping this would fix the start menu opening in the wrong place.

Ummm... I read through all this. I thought Owen said DisplayFusion would be updated to work with Windows 11 by launch. It's launched. All I could see in this thread was a link to a beta. Is that all that's out yet? May I suggest something on the Displayfusion front page updating us preciesly what their Windows 11 plan is and if there is a version we can run on Windows 11. I have 9.8 and have no idea if I upload to Windows 11 if it will all collapse down around me. Do I need to back up the settings? How do I upgrade to the beta if that's what we have to do and on and on. Should I would uninstall Display Fusion before the upgrade and then install the beta? If I do that how do I move all my settings over to the beta. I should think there would be many many users wanting to know this basic info.

I have 5 windows on my main monitor each with their own taskbar, as shown in the screenshot. Can anyone tell me if I am going to have any issues with this? Humorously enough, DF is the only Windows app I care about losing access to with Win 11. Anything else that does not work right I can live with. But I'm dependent on DF!

It looks like it has something to do with Multi-Monitor Taskbar. If I disable this, the built-in "Fancy Zones" preview does not dissapear.

I have split my Monitor into three "separate Monitors" using the Splits and Padding feature. Monitor 1 uses the Windows Taskbar on which the "Fancy Zones" preview works and does not disappear. But on Monitor 2+3 it will disappear due to the Multi-Monitor taskbar enabled there.

If I disable the Multi-Monitor taskbar, the feature will work on all three monitors. ]]> RE: Is DF going to work after I update to Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#19 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 02:49:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#19 DisplayFusion hey guys when i'm trying to execute this script

cmd.exe

to load the other profile that i have configured with the other monitor i'm getting the specific error :

Any chance i make it work in the current version ? thanx in advance !

p.s. tried as well with the 10.0 beta 3 version, still same issue

p.s.2 ALL SOLVED leaving my comment here in case someone else have the same issue.

@Lupus, Could you send over a video of the issue happening? I can't seem to reproduce that on my end.

As for the taskbar appearance, we will do our best to make it match the Windows taskbar, but that likely won't be until later in the summer when Microsoft has finalized the design.

The other issues in this thread have been noted.

Win 11 has a built-in "FancyZones" feature which you can use if you hover over the window maximize button. With DF enabled it will only show briefly the window with no chance to use that feature.

The second smaller issue is with Multi-Monitor Taskbars. Leftclick on the Windows Button on DF Taskbars does not do anything. Rightclick will open the "shortcuts window", but not where I clicked. Instead it uses the "original" Windows Button location. ]]> RE: Is DF going to work after I update to Windows 11? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#14 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 12:48:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-df-going-to-work-after-i-update-to-windows-11/?ID=bb53fbdd-b184-44ca-885b-d76aba64dd11#14 DisplayFusion

For others the only issue I see is that clicking on the windows icon does not result in bringing up start menu. But the taskbar does show the apps on the monitor. So only a minor annoyance. ]]>
