After upgrading to Windows 10, and using the multi-monitor taskbar from DisplayFusion, when I alt+tab, it only allows me to alt+tab between windows on the currently active monitor.
When I used this in Windows 7, it allowed me to alt+tab between both monitors freely.
This has forced me to have to use the Windows 10 built in multi-monitor task bar, which does not have a task manager, or a clock on it.
So I am wondering how I can enable the ability to alt+tab from one monitor to another, while using the Display Fusion multi-monitor task bar.
For instance:
I am in a windowed game on my primary monitor, and I want to alt+tab to Netflix which is on my 2nd monitor, when I hit Alt+Tab, it only shows me the windows that are on my primary monitor. In Windows 7 version of Display Fusion, I was able to alt+tab to the netflix window just fine, but not anymore in Windows 10.
Edit: Oh I see this is in the Known Issues for Windows 10. Guess I have to live with a ton of tasks on my start bar for now.

Your workaround has another bug. It seems to forget its settings, and default back to the windows 10 alt tab functionality.
This was a problem with windows 8 aswell.

Yeah, it was only certain programs. Atleast on win8. Im not completely sure on win10.
I just bootet up my pc, and the alt tab worked fine... now an hour later, it has switched back to windows 10's own alt tab.

Right now I have several apps open.. And all of them show windows alt+tab, execept when I alt+tab from powershell.
The windows alt+tab only show apps from one monitor, and it only shows on one monitor.
When I alt+tab from the powershell ISE it shows the display fusion alt+tab, it shows all of the apps and it shows on both monitors.
I also have remote desktop manager free open..
When I set display fusion to "show on all monitors, show all windows".. it actually works as intended.
For a while, atleast. (it seems like it resets itself sometimes when going to sleep)

I've added the files as attachments.
I cant reproduce the error, it just sortof happens.
But I just noticed it had changed back to the other alt tab, so it should probably be in the bottom of the log file.

I got the same question, only not for Alt+Tab (which shows on all monitors for me), but for Win+Tab.
Whenever I use Win+Tab, the selection window only shows on the primary monitor, but not on the others.
Could you implement a similar function like the one for Alt+Tab where you can choose in the settings whether the selection window appears on all monitors or only the primary or current?
That would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and best regards!

Sorry, but how is this STILL not fixed years later? Does Microsoft know about it?

2022 and this problem is still there.
I made huge use of ALT+TAB, but using the build in version is useless because it's missing the "Show on Current Monitor, show ACROSS All Windows". I have some small Window and if I ALT+TAB while focused on that window, the ALT+TAB window isn't big enough to show all the thumbnails.
I've bought this software a couple of days ago, but for this and other thing, I will have to ask for a refund.
