If you're running into this issue, please update to the latest DisplayFusion 10.0 Beta.

Since DF Pro 10.0 Beta 21 (possibly), my Windows 10 (v21H2 19044.2486) is showing all icons on the Windows taskbar while the DF taskbar just shows relevant icons, even though I have All taskbars show relevant windows set and it used to work with e.g. Chrome, Edge, Emacs, Outlook windows, etc.

I am having this issue as well - but it is intermittant. For example, I can reboot to make the issue go away for a while, then it will return.

That's a strange one! I haven't been able to reproduce this here. Is there anything specific that seems to trigger it on your machines?

Not that I have noticed, but I rarely reboot. I installed the update for the latest Beta and just noticed it happening.

Windows updates will reboot my PC this weekend, so perhaps that might make a difference.

I tried closing and re-opening DF and it didn't change the Windows Taskbar - still showing all icons.

Ok, I haven't run into this at all during regular use or testing, but I'll keep an eye out for it. If you find a consistent set of steps that will reproduce it, please let me know.

I don't know why it is happening but it happened again. Screenshot of two programs (X1 and Spotify) on both taskbars. Setting is "All taskbars show relevant windows"

Thanks! Do you remember which app was still on the Windows taskbar when you captured that info? The info indicates that DF thinks X1 and Spotify were removed from the Windows taskbar.

There were three: X1, Spotify, and DF (ironically).

Thanks! We're pretty sure we know what's causing this and we have a potential fix for Beta 23. We'll let you know when it's available to try, and if it still happens with Beta 23, we'll get you to send a debug log as we've added some more logging as well.

FYI, the issue doesn't appear to be happening after the last Windows updates were applied to my PC.

I am still on DF beta 22. My Windows is Windows 10 Version 21H2 Build 19044.2728.

Of course, that could also just be a result of the reboot required as part of the patches being installed.
