DisplayFusion has to send a Windows keystroke to invoke the Start menu, as a simulated mouse click doesn't work in Windows 8/8.1.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377#3 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:46:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377#3 DisplayFusion i currently have a similar issue with start8 1.31 and displayfusion 6.0.0 beta 2. when i click on the start button on my secondary monitor, it opens the windows 8 menu and not the start menu like the primary start button does. thankfully it does it on the window the start button is on that you click, but i'd like it to open the start menu and not the windows 8 menu. any ideas / suggestions? thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377#2 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:24:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377#2 DisplayFusion It definitely should work. Which version of Start8 are you currently running? You'll need Start8 1.11 for it to work, as they had to fix some stuff on their end as well. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:22:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start8-and-start-menu-on-incorrect-monitor/?ID=fecddf93-e307-4662-a9f6-f1b1aa2ac377 DisplayFusion I have DisplayFusion 5.0 now, I was using 4.x before upgrading to Windows 8. The same problem has persist since upgrading to Win8. I will click on a DisplayFusion taskbar start button, but the Start8 menu appears on the primary monitor, not the one with the click event.

Is there a fix for this or should it even work?

Cheers
