I wonder if for some reason on your system when DisplayFusion forces its taskbar to the bottom (so that it stays below the full screen game) it's causing the other apps to pop up the z-order briefly or something. I'm really just guessing at this point, as I haven't been able to reproduce it here, so if you're happy with that workaround, we'll leave it at that until I can reproduce the issue here

Thanks for the follow-up! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#25 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:16:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#25 DisplayFusion Small update:

Disabling multi-monitor taskbars fixes the issue
At the moment I'm using a trigger so that the multi-monitor taskbar gets disabled when I'm launching a game and restarts when I quit it and it works perfectly ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#24 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 20:43:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#24 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks Erzha! At the moment, I'm out of ideas then. I'll do a bit more testing to see if I can get it to happen here, and if I can, we'll definitely get it fixed up

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#23 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 20:35:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#23 DisplayFusion I've disabled Application Hooks, restarted DF to make sure the change has been applied

The issue is still there ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#22 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 20:28:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#22 DisplayFusion Ok, no worries! If you don't mind trying the disabled application hooks, I'd be curious to find out if that makes a difference ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#21 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 18:28:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#21 DisplayFusion I've tried, the issue is still there

To be honest, it's only a little annoyance for me (I just have to remember to exit DF before recording, and I don't use DF when I'm playing a fullscreen game anyway)

I don't really mind if no solution is found. Don't lose too much time on this
However, if you still want to find the origin of the bug, I don't mind following your instructions ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#20 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 18:01:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#20 DisplayFusion Ok, I've just re-tested in Windows 7 and still had no issues. In the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings, can you try enabling the "Disable Application Hooks" option, then restart DisplayFusion and see if that makes any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#19 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 17:04:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#19 DisplayFusion Happens in every game in tried to record

I have no idea what to do with this information, but maybe you do ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#12 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 14:57:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#12 DisplayFusion I was using the latest stable version, so I tried to update to the latest beta version. The bug is still there

I updated my drivers from version 368.39 to 368.69. The bug is still there

I have a GTX 770M ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#11 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 14:28:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#11 DisplayFusion I finally had a chance to test with ShadowPlay here, and couldn't reproduce this issue. I tested on a GTX 650 Ti, recording Serious Sam 3. I didn't see anything from the second screen flickering over top during the recording, or when playing back the recording.

Are you still able to reproduce this with DisplayFusion 8.0 Beta 9, and the latest NVIDIA drivers? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#10 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 18:50:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#10 DisplayFusion Ok, I'll have to do some testing here to see if I can reproduce the same issue here.

Yes, that's exactly what's happening
I can provide an example if you need ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#2 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 20:08:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/conflict-with-shadowplay/?ID=f6cf7f14-26d8-4549-9dfb-f7c09081de1f#2 DisplayFusion So the window on your second monitor appears in the recording that you're taking of the first monitor? That's really strange! I'm not sure what would be causing that, unfortunately. We'll see if we can test this out and reproduce it here. ]]>
