Windows 10 - Snapping windows does not all user to choose other windows for 2nd window

Just installed Display Fusion. Not sure if displayfusion is causing this problem because it worked fine before. I cannot choose the window for the 2nd half of the screen when I snap another window to the other half.

Is there a way to toggle display fusion (toggle disabling displayfusion) so I can see if it is the problem? How do I temporarily turn off/disable display fusion when I want to?

Thank you.

If you right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon and choose Exit, that will prevent it from interfering with anything

If it is a DisplayFusion issue, let me know. I've tested this here with and without DisplayFusion and both scenarios work fine for me.

Thanks!

Hi Keith,

I can confirm that this is a DisplayFusion issue with Windows 10 Creators Update.

The Second monitor snapping will only snap to 50% and does not honor any other windows on the screen (will overlap, does not present other window options etc.).

Snapping works perfectly on the primary monitor or on both monitors if DisplayFusion is closed.

DisplayFusion Pro 8.1.2
Windows 10 Creators Update (1703)

Ahhh yep, definitely. I misunderstood your original post. This is due to an issue where using the Windows API to remove a taskbar button from the Windows taskbar (as we do when DisplayFusion moves a button to the second monitor) causes it to unregister from Alt+Tab, Task View, and Virtual Desktops. There are currently two workarounds:

Set the Taskbar Mode (Settings > Taskbar) to "Windows shows all, DisplayFusion shows relevant," or,
Disable the DisplayFusion Multi-Monitor Taskbar feature and enable the Windows 10 built-in one (will lose some functionality though, like system tray icons on the second monitor)

If we're able to fix this up for good in the future, we'll be sure to post an update

Thank you for the quick response and the workarounds.

The first workaround is fine for me to use until (if) a solution is ever found.

Thanks!
