Wrong Monitor Set As Primary When Loading A Monitor Profile

User Image

I have two monitor profiles I toggle between using hotkeys. When I invoke the one with two monitors DisplayFusion will always make the wrong monitor my primary monitor. If I invoke the profile a second time it will set the proper monitor as primary. I have remade the profile several times to try and fix this, but the problem is stil the same. When I envoke the profile the displays flicker several times as DisplayFusion is applying the settings. During one of these flikers I can see the correct monitor being set as primary, but the final flicker always ends up setting the wrong monitor as primary.

I would like some help with the issue or possibly file it as a bug if it is not already known. Please let me know what info you need from me as this is the first time I am asking for help with DisplayFusion.

Hi Owen, thanks for getting back me! I have installed the latest beta version and tested my configruations a few times and am happy to report that the issue seems to resolved. The proper monitor was set as the primary monitor every time I tested. Thanks again for getting back to me and addressing my issue!

I'm on DisplayFusion 10.1 (Beta 2) and I'm facing the same issue.
Switching between a 4K HDR screen and 3 1440p screens. If I load the profile with the 3 screens after switching from the 4K screen the wrong primary monitor is selected. If I load the profile again it selects the right primary monitor.

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

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

Hello,

I'm having the same issue. When I switch to my 3 monitor profile it's choosing a wrong monitor as my primary. Windows 11 and Displayfusion 10.0 through Steam...

Thanks for sending that over, if you run the profile a second time does it set the correct primary monitor?

yes, the second time I press the keyboard shortcut it sets the right monitor as primary.

We've released a new beta with some further changes. Can you update, recreate your profiles, and see if the issue persists?

I am on the latest beta and I still have to click profile twice to get the proper primary monitor. Even then my windows are on the non primary monitor meaning they have to be moved over.

Is this still expected?

This should be fixed up with 10.1 beta 7, but you'll need to delete and recreate your profiles. Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

I have this issue in 10.1.2. Any updates? My solution for now is to use a custom script that loads the profile twice.

Edit: Upon further investigation, it does not happen all the time, but seems to happen consistently enough in my use case. I'll try to pinpoint the reproduction steps.

@William Henderson1: If you can reproduce the issue reliably, a debug log captured while reproducing the issue might point us in the right direction as well:

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

Thanks!

I just reproduced it with debug logging on as requested. It occurred at 11:45PM, the name of the profile I was loading is called "DeskMonitors".

The profile I was coming from ("TV") has my two "Desk monitors" disabled, and my TV enabled as a monitor. This issue seems to happen any time I spend an extended period of time gaming on the TV profile.

Thanks! I will ask our devs to take a look at the log and see if we can figure out what's going wrong here.

Just a heads up that we're working on some changes for the next beta that should hopefully help out here. We'll follow-up as soon as it's available to try out.

Thanks!
