We definitely fixed it some versions back, and I can't reproduce this behaviour here. Could you send me a screenshot of what you're setting, as well as a debug log?

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Any idea how I get rid of it? I run the latest version 9.4.3.

I installed the DISPLAYFUSION Beta and Alt-Tab now works properly.
(It was necessary to reboot The problem persisted until I rebooted.)

Thank You! ]]> RE: Alt-Tab with Edge open has several extra ghost instances of browser https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#13 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 17:10:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#13 DisplayFusion Thanks for the quick reply. I have a lot of tabs open in about 3 Edge sessions. Tacks Manger says 56. I will try the beta and report back later. ]]> RE: Alt-Tab with Edge open has several extra ghost instances of browser https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#12 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 16:25:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#12 DisplayFusion @Chris: I can't seem to reproduce that here. Is each one of those boxes a different tab in Edge? Also, if you update to the latest 9.4 Beta can you still reproduce the same issue? ]]> RE: Alt-Tab with Edge open has several extra ghost instances of browser https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#11 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 07:46:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#11 DisplayFusion I still have Blue Boxes .

How are we doing on this? It's a bit annoying. :|


Uninstall Windows 10 and go back to Windows 7 until everything is patched.

It definitely appears to be due to a change introduced in Windows 10 Creators Update as I only started seeing this since I upgraded a few days ago. ]]> RE: Alt-Tab with Edge open has several extra ghost instances of browser https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#2 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 15:24:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e#2 DisplayFusion We were able to reproduce this issue here, and I've added it to our list. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we're able to fix it up :)

Thanks! ]]> Alt-Tab with Edge open has several extra ghost instances of browser https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e Sat, 01 Apr 2017 02:42:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-with-edge-open-has-several-extra-ghost-instances-of-browser/?ID=c94766f3-6e0a-4954-9d17-c2f8a5cd723e DisplayFusion If Edge is not running, no issue with DF Alt-Tab.

Or if I exit DF, normal behavior of Alt-Tab.

However, with DF and Edge both running, I see 8 extra ghost instances of Edge. The edge ghost images are solid blue with "e". If you select the ghost "e" images, it may or may not take you to the single Edge window open. Though often, if another browser is open, selecting one will return to the current window. It's been several months, new versions of DF and W10. Attached image.

Currently running DisplayFusion 8.1.2 with Windows 10 Preview 1703 (build 150630)

When it first occurred a few months back, I reported it through Preview Feedback hub, but realized it only occurs when running DF. It doesn't matter if I disable 2nd monitor.

Has anyone seen this? ]]>
