That's definitely the most reliable solution. I don't usually suggest it because most people don't want to fuss with their cables

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#17 Wed, 22 May 2019 12:28:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#17 DisplayFusion Thank you for taking the time sir! Well, we can close the thread but i wanted to leave you with what i last did to correct the issue. I run 3 monitors everywhere, and the ID always gets scrambled. Im still not sure how harware enumerates that. Anyway, I swapped the cables on my monitors at home so that the monitor that displays the POST info is in the center. I always notice when it is not. Somehow that low level enumeration has something to do with all this. It is like hardware, OS, software. I do the same at work, and now everything sticks. the windows are always on the correct screen when i jump into my work machine from home via Citrix Desktop--> RDP Windows --> Work Desktop. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#16 Wed, 08 May 2019 15:53:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#16 DisplayFusion Thanks! I don't see any entries in the log that would indicate that DisplayFusion moved the windows. If you exit DisplayFusion, this doesn't happen? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#15 Wed, 08 May 2019 02:49:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#15 DisplayFusion Thank you. I just logged in from my RDP session @ 9:47. All the indows are collapse to the center screen this time. I moved a couple to the other monitors before remembering you wanted to see logs again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#14 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 13:38:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#14 DisplayFusion Ok, interesting! That rule should only fire when the windows are first opened, so I'm kind of stumped as to how that might be affecting this. Could you try enabling the rule again, and then send me 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

You helped me with this in the past, but now it is back, for some reason but not as badly. The taskbars are all in the place they should be but my windows are saved one window shifted to the left. so the windows are opening up in the wrong place when i remote into my main computer. I will dig around in the registry to see if i can fix it. I am not sure which montitors in the equation actually matter lol.
my setup:
At work: 3 27" 1440p monitors with Display Fusion installed.
At home : Same thing
In between: Citrix virtual desktop Windows 10, with RDP on it.

I connect and login to my Citrix desktop, and set it to full screen.
Then from that desktop (inside my work datacenter), I RDP into my workstation in the office.

This way i get the exact same experience at home as I do at work.

I am not sure if i set something wrong in the last year, but now when I rdp in,
the Windows that should be in Center monitor are on the left. Right most windows are in the center, etc. Everything shifts to the left. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#7 Sat, 13 May 2017 23:17:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#7 DisplayFusion Great! that worked perfectly. but it is the weekend and i am remote now. I will see what the bars do the next time i am at my desktop. even if they are not sticking in the right place that simple reg edit can be scripted by a guy like me, so i can have it as a shortcut in the future.

Thank you for the fast reply, and expert assistance.!

UPDATE:
Looks like everything is sticking in place now.. man this is so sweet! i went to work and rebooted the computer after doing the registry change you said. I am now at home, and remoting in, and the bars stayed in place like they should! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#6 Fri, 12 May 2017 18:42:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#6 DisplayFusion Thanks! So they're still swapped after a reboot? If so, you can edit the registry to swap the IDs for the taskbar settings. Unfortunately for the wallpapers, you'll have to manually change them as it's not just a matter of a simple registry change for those.

For the taskbars (this assumes 1 and 3 need to be swapped):

• Backup your settings (DisplayFusion Settings > Options > Export)
• Exit DisplayFusion (Important!)
• Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars
• Rename the "1" subkey to something else, like "1_old"
• Rename the "3" subkey to "1"
• Rename the "1_old" subkey to "3"
• Start DisplayFusion

Is there a way to get the taskbars back where i want them. You actually are correct, in that , both sessions are identical now, but both sessions are also wrong. if i could insta swap the left and right taskbars, then it would be awesome.

Anyway you will see in the attachment that the left most screen should be on the right.(the wallpaper and the taskbar with Icons.
The Right most wallpaper and Icons should be on the LEFT.

I hilighted the display fusion custom Taskbar shortcuts so that you didnt get them confused with my work mess. the middle taskbar is just Windows.

Im at work now, so i can't get RDP sreen shot. but it looks the same. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#4 Fri, 12 May 2017 15:37:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#4 DisplayFusion Thanks! According to the troubleshooting info, everything should be in the right spot, which is definitely weird! Could you send me a full desktop screenshot for both RDP and local as well? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#3 Fri, 12 May 2017 14:05:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#3 DisplayFusion Thank you for the fast reply,sir. i should note that currently the task-bars are stuck in the swapped positions. this is due to my messing around trying to get it to work from home. I am so busy i rarely get to reboot my machine. I am going to reboot this morning. get the task bars back like they should be , then re-submit logs and screenshots to you for better understanding, if necessary.
Also i was just about to ask.. then i saw "Protect these attachments.." NICE ! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#2 Fri, 12 May 2017 02:16:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/jump-box-and-monitor-ids/?ID=eeab4baa-1ddb-42a0-adfe-e7c523db39cb#2 DisplayFusion Could you send me a copy of the DisplayFusion troubleshooting info (steps below) from when you're logged into the computer locally, and again when you're logged in through RDP?

• Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab

But at work i use the customization a little more.
When i remote into my Citrix desktop i set it to full monitor mode and it scaled 3 monitors perfectly. It is a windows 7 desktop that i do nothing on.
From the Citrix Desktop i RDP /span into my work computer where 3 1080p monitors reside with Display fusion and some custom taskbar shortcuts

My only issue is the task bars are reversed and inverted. the Icons are collapsed to the wrong side, but actually it is monitors 1 and 3 that are switched. ]]>
