I purchased and installed Wallpaper Engine and still can't reproduce this issue here either. I'm stumped!

Would you be able to try disabling all other programs from startup, reboot, then launch just DisplayFusion and see if the Show Desktop button works correctly?

We used to have this issue when DisplayFusion and Stardock Fences were both running, so I'm wondering if another program on your system is combining with DisplayFusion to cause this issue. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#11 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 01:20:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#11 DisplayFusion I tried deleting wallpaper engine... still same ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#10 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:58:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#10 DisplayFusion Are there any Wallpaper Engine processes still running in the Windows Task Manager list after you've closed it? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#9 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 20:57:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#9 DisplayFusion Nope ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#8 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 20:17:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#8 DisplayFusion So with Wallpaper Engine closed, and DisplayFusion open, Show Desktop doesn't work? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#7 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 18:35:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#7 DisplayFusion Seems like it works both with Wallpaper engine open and closed, but whenever displayfusion is open, doesnt seem to work... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#6 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 18:27:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#6 DisplayFusion If you exit DisplayFusion, does it work fine? If so, can you also start DisplayFusion again, and exit Wallpaper Engine to see if that also works fine? I'm betting that the combination of both running is causing some issue with the Windows Show Desktop function. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#5 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 18:19:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/show-desktop-not-working-properly/?ID=ee215153-ad43-47be-b817-46627b97e9c2#5 DisplayFusion Nope, still the same...
