Hey folks. I am running 2 monitors. I run Outlook on the smaller monitor (#2). When I open an email in Outlook, the email window overlaps onto monitor #1 just a little bit. This only happens when the previous email window was maximized, then another email is opened (also maximized). This is the only time I see this behavior.

Running Windows 10 Home and DisplayFusion Pro 10.1.2 on Steam. Outlook version is 2409, via MS Office 365.

Hi Todd,

If you re-maximize the window after it's opened, does it correct itself?

Yes, when I re-maximize the email window it fits correctly. It only happens to the first email window.

Based on a separate search of MS discussions, I deleted some registry keys that control the Outlook message frame coordinates. That did not fix the issue. Whenever the Outlook message is maximixed, OR tiled in a corner adjacent to monitor 1, it re-appears incorrectly, bleeding across two screens.

Also worth noting is that I closed DisplayFusion after the above, and repeated the proces, with the same behavior, so I don't think this is a DF-related problem.

Yeah okay interesting, you can try creating a trigger in DisplayFusion that fires off Outlook windows, waits a second or two for it to full open, and then moves it to the location you would like so it fixes it automatically. We have a guide on creating triggers here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/Triggers/

Outlook is notorious for re-using window handles instead of creating new ones though, so this might not work 100% of the time.

Thanks!
