On the main monitor with windows taskbar the game icon is missing.
Does the game window get moved to a secondary taskbar while DisplayFusion is running?

No, no icon on both taskbars.
Ok, on the DisplayFusion Settings > Compatibility tab, could you try adding a rule for the game? In the rule, enable the "Disable removing from Windows taskbar" option.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
sorry for the delay, I was some days on vacation. This don't work. The games I talk about are Trine 2 and Trine 3. Both games shows no icon on taskbar when I run them in windowed mode. AS I told diasabling display fusion shows the icons.

Here is the LOG.

Thanks! I'll pass this over to our devs so they can have a look.
Ok, we're really stumped on this one! From the logs, DisplayFusion doesn't appear to be removing the button intentionally.
If you disable the DisplayFusion multi-monitor taskbar feature before you start the game, but leave DisplayFusion running, does the button still disappear from the Windows taskbar?

I switched to the setting, that all taskbars shows the same. And voila - game icon is there. The I switched to show taskbar only on main screen. Here the game icon disapears too.
Ok, that's good to know! I need to check on something again and I'll keep you posted on what I find out.
Would you be able to do the debug logging steps from post #8 above, but set it to L2 instead of L1 logging?
Make sure to disable logging after sending us the logs, L2 will affect performance.
Thanks!

Thanks! I'll have our devs review the log and see what we can find out.
The only thing weird in this log is that it's mentioning something about a pinned shortcut, but from your troubleshooting info, it doesn't look like you've got any shortcuts pinned on the DF taskbars. Could you try a couple of things?
1. If you just disable the DisplayFusion taskbars, but leave DisplayFusion running, does the icon stay on the Windows taskbar?
2. Is that game pinned on the Windows taskbar at all? If it is, could you try removing it?
3. Could you backup your settings (Settings > Options > Export) and send them over?
Thanks!

Hi,
if I disable the multi monitor taskbar ist didn't change. If I enable it and set it to the 3rd one (in german: Jede Taskleiste zeigt alle geöffneten Fenster an) it shows not on the main monitor but on the other two. On the 2nd one (Windows Taskleitse zeigt alle Fenster, DisplayFusion zeigt nur zugehörige Fenster) there is no icon on all monitors. The game is not pinned to the taskbar.

When it's not showing up on the taskbar, does it show up in Alt+Tab?
