Downloaded latest beta for Windows 11, but it doesn't allow access to settings by right-clicking in the taskbar, and no icon appears in the taskbar except for the DF application itself (but clicking or right-clicking on it does nothing). Task manager shows that DF is running along with the DF host service.

Is there a new command sequence or hotkey combo that is used to bring up the settings?

I finally got settings to appear after reinstalling a couple of times. But it looks like Taskbar behavior is still incorrect, when the option to show all taskbars on all windows is chosen. All windows show up only on the primary monitor, only relevant windows on the other monitors.

Here is the attached file - all taskbars should be on all displays, but only on main window, only relevant windows on other displays

Having related issues. Taskbar works after starting windows, but after a time stops working altogether. Right click on taskbar doesn't work.
Right click on app icon does nothing
Click on start button does nothing.
Right click on start button does nothing
Basically the DF taskbar does not work except to display icons.
Windows taskbar seems to work ok.

I was able reset all taskbars to get it to work for awhile.

I have installed DF 11 Beta 1 for now.

@Robert62723 Thanks for sending that over. The troubleshooting info shows you have the taskbar mode set to "All taskbars show all windows". It sounds like you want that set to "Window taskbar shows all windows, DisplayFusion shows relevant windows"?

@StanF We are aware of a similar issue on our latest beta and we have it on our list to look into.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, but I think you have my statement reversed. I am TRYING to get DF to have ALL taskbars show ALL windows. But what it actually DOES is set ONLY the main display to show all windows, and other displays only show relevant windows. I can get the Windows Taskbar settings menu to do this, but not DF, when offered the choice of whether to keep Windows taskbar settings or DF's taskbar settings.

Ah gotcha, could you send me over a debug log as well? Here are the steps:

  • 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

I tried to send you the debug log but today ran into the following problems:
1. I couldn't launch DF. Task Manager shows it running, and the service and hooks processes are running, but I can't get a menu to show the settings. Same after I killed those processes and attempted to relaunch, and same after rebooting. Don't know what has changed.
2. My screen background (wallpaper) has turned black instead of my selected image. When I reset it, it changes for an instant, but then goes to black again.

Both of those issues are likely related to the same issue @StanF mentioned. We'll let you know once we get that fixed up.

Thanks!

This issue also shows up in beta 1. Seems to work for "awhile" after starting the computer, then stops. Can't relate it to any particular activity that I'm doing.

Restarting DF seems to alleviate the problem, at least for awhile.

Owen,

I installed Beta 3 and the same problem with the taskbar exists. As far as I can tell no change with the latest Beta release. I will go back to the last stable release.

V11 is a mess.
Sorry, but it's in many ways a lot of steps backwards.
I've always had the problem where changing from my single monitor desktop profile to my 3 monitor triples setup can never seem to 'remember' that the center monitor should be primary. This still happens. I have to wait until all the monitor back and forth, before pressing the profile hotkey combination a second time for the center monitor to be default.
Since V11, I have to do this now on my single desktop monitor profile because DF has decided that it wants to leave one of the triple monitors active!

I've tried deleting the profiles and creating new ones, but EXACTLY the same things happen.

Additionally, there's a LOT more back and forth switching of monitors when changing profiles, like a LOT MORE before it finally settles down, albeit still not doing what it's told when switching between either profile.
Is all of this really necessary? There are several free programs available (which you know of) that simply switch the profiles without all this constant monitor switching back and forth that really just screams "I have no idea what I'm doing and will just keep swithching monitors until something works!"

I don't have a particularly unusual setup:
Desktop monitor is an LG C2 120Hz panel running on HDMI 2.1, directly connected to the GPU
Triples are all DP 1.4, all connected directly to the GPU

System:
AMD 5800X3D
Nvidia RTX 4090
Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master
Multple M.2 NVME
Windows 11 latest build, everything up to date.

PS - I would be happy to send logs, but I have sent them multiple times over the years and none of the issues were ever resolved, and now this new V11 creates new problems!

I'm not sure you were referring to my post made yesterday (still telling me it's being moderated), but assuming you were, here is the attached log you requested.
Start at around 10:47am to see the 'fun' begin as I press the hotkey to move from my single desktop monitor to my triples setup. After around 3-4 minutes it finally finished it's 'thing', turning the single desktop monitor on and then off again around 3 times.
I had to complete this debacle by pressing the hotkey one more time as DF refuses to put my center monitor in the triples array in the center. This is an old problem that was never solved in previous versions of DF. Sad to see it continues.

Then going back from the triples to the center monitor took about the same time for DF to complete whatever it is doing, but continued to leave one of the triple monitors on with desktop background image displayed.
At the end of the log you will likely see I had to manually disable that monitor, despite these both being newly created profiles, setup in Windows display management before saving in DF.

It should NOT take around 6-7 minutes to perform this simple task of going from one profile to another and back again, and require manual intervention to complete what should be automated and the entire reason for paying to purhase this program.
Log attached as requested.

Are those triple monitors the exact same monitor models, or are they different?

The monitors are all different. The "system" monitor is an hp1905, second is an hpu28 and the last is lg tv 4k.

I believe the issue occurred around 9:15 AM PDT Mar 27, 2024. I can't say exactly when since it depends on when I need the DF taskbar. The windows taskbar appears to be ok.

I installed Beta 3 around 8:30 AM. Will now go back to the latest stable version

If that question was for me, the triple monoitors are exactly the same:
Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q

The single desktop monitor is an LG C2 (HDMI 2.1)
