I could not find a thread on this so I am starting a new one. Ever since I "upgraded" to Windows 10, the task bar icons on all monitors but the main one are only "active" for a short period after starting Display Fusion. They work at first but then stop. Clicking on them does nothing, hovering over them for context message boxes does nothing. Also, the clocks in those task bars show a different time then the main monitor - always a few minutes behind. They are also not always behind by the same about. I just watched one jump 2 minutes like it was delayed in updating. Clicking on the clock/date on any monitor other than the main also does nothing. On the maim monitor if I click on the clock/date it opens up a calendar. On all other monitors it does nothing. Anyone else with this problem. I have the latest version of Display Fusion installed (Pro 7.3.4)

Thanks !

Could you try updating to the latest DisplayFusion 8.0 Beta? We've made a bunch of Windows 10 improvements since 7.3.4, so hopefully that resolves this issue for you as well. Please let me know if not :)

Thanks!

I did update to the newest Beta version. On 1 of the secondary monitors, the task bar icons do respond to click and hovers but it is REALLY slow. I have them set so all monitors show all apps. Clicking on the icon for an open app does nothing on any of the secondary monitors. The app icons show up, as open but clicking on them does nothing. When I open a new app on the main monitor, it's icon is not showing up on the secondaries. It's like DFP freezes up on the secondary monitors after a short time.

On the other 2 secondary monitors, the task bar icons do nothing when I click or hover. The clocks are also not in sync. On the 1st secondary monitor (the one with functioning but SLOW task bar icons), the time is a full 5 minutes behind the main monitor as I type this. The other 2 secondary monitors are the same - all 5 min behind the main monitor.

Actually, now the task bar icons on the secondary monitor that were working slowing are not working at all. Again, it' liek the task bars on all secondary monitors freeze up. So, I have to say no - the newest Beta does not seem to solve any of these issues. Am I the only one experiencing this ?

Thanks !

We haven't really run into this issue recently, no. Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

Trying to do that. When I logged in this evening, DFP started up and seemed to work on the secondary monitors for a few minutes. I surfed the web for a little while and checked it again. All tack bar icons on the secondary monitors are frozen again. When I click on Troubleshooting, there is a bit of delay (about 8 seconds). Then it says "Error: Result is invalid". I got Troubleshooting to work earlier today so I will keep trying. Maybe this problem tells you something?

OK I just rebooted and the Troubleshooting worked this time. The attached is a copy of what it said while DFP was still working on the secondary monitors. As I said, it seems to work right after starting, for a short period, though response on the secondary monitor icons is really slow. Then after a short time, they stop working all together. I will try to get another Troubleshooting dump after it freezes up.

This log file (attached) was taken (after many tried and getting the "Error: Result is invalid" message) while the secondary monitors task bars are frozen. Really hope this helps. I use DFP at work on a Windows 7 rig with 4 monitors and it works flawlessly. Always did at home too, until Windows 10...

Thanks Bill! I'm wondering if another application is contributing to the issue. Would you be able to try disabling all other programs from startup, then reboot and see if this still occurs?

I have a similar issue but it's only when I use my steam controller. The regular mouse works fine. Would be great if the controller also worked.

@eviltwinne: Your issue is likely due to DisplayFusion running at a higher integrity level than Steam. Running Steam as Administrator should fix that up :)
