So everything is working fine now? Or are the applications still slow to launch some times? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#5 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 05:27:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#5 DisplayFusion Three updates:

Do you know if there were any .NET Framework updates in the Windows Updates that you did? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#3 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:46:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#3 DisplayFusion Update:

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Completed the recent Windows Updates as of today, and restarted the computer. The load time has mysteriously been reduced. There is still a noticeable load variance between Windows' taskbar and DisplayFusion's taskbar, which is negligible if it's stable. Of course, if the load time increases with how long Windows is running (the computer sleeps rather than gets shut down at night), I will report back to help troubleshoot.

Edit: Additionally to the pinned applications and shortcuts that opened slowly initially; Any DisplayFusion form launched from the second task bar, by right clicking and selecting an option took a significant amount of time to load. These wait times were also subsided by this recent Windows Update. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#2 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:17:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25#2 DisplayFusion I've had a few other customers report a similar issue. I'm going to do some more investigating here, and I'll let you know if I need more info, or when I have more news on this issue.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:33:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pinned-applications-launch-slowly-from-second-taskbar/?ID=dbf8cb45-f0ed-4a0f-9501-efeb4c4a1c25 DisplayFusion Hello,

After installing DisplayFusion, I was excited to see it work as expected and allowed me for greater accessibility while using full window applications that will take up one monitor. I found that when I launch an application, windows explorer, or any pinned icon on the second taskbar (doesn't matter what it is), the application takes 7-14 seconds to load. This was not a big problem, but now it's starting to get annoying. Why does it take so long to load? What is it doing that requires all this extra processing?

Launching an application from the main taskbar or the desktop loads instantly.

What are some options I can troubleshoot to fix this issue?

Thank you. ]]>
