Are system tray icons for display fusion meant to mirror system tray icons from primary? Mine don't.

Can you help.

So weird, that one of my computers, same computer, same setup, has the system tray perfectly mirrored, but the other computer doesn't. Still no ideas out there?

Thanks for sending that over. Explorer Patcher might be causing this, can you try removing that and rebooting, and see if the issue persists?

Maybe? But I have another exact computer....same build....and the problem doesn't exist? Would you still recommend the same?

I like the patcher because I really like quicklaunch.

Explorer Patcher has caused a bunch of conflicts in the past with our taskbars, so it's definitely worth testing. I'm running the same version of Windows as you and it seems to be working fine here as well.

I removed it and restarted. The trays are still different.

Could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and then click "Clear Log"
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

Thank you for your kind reply.

Today, I finally had dropbox show up on primary (windows 10 from exp. patcher) and on display fusion system trays, but other programs are not duplicated.

I think time stamp is 12:00 ish, but got pulled away and not sure.

Thank you,

That's really strange! I don't see anything unusual in your log.

With Windows 11, we send out a general call to grab the tray icons, and it's up to each app to respond. We're pretty limited with this, and icons seems to come/go with Windows updates. We'll see if we can make any improvements there for the future though.

Thanks!

Thanks....What's very crazy as I mentioned is that I have two computers exactly the same. In fact, I imaged one, and restored the image to the other computer....which is working. But the one that is not working completely is the one the image was created from.
