All windows showing on main monitor taskbar and appropriate monitor taskbar

I have reset the settings multiple times and I just cannot get this resolved. In the past my running application showed on the monitor on which the window resided. Recently, not sure if it is due to a Windows Update or a Display Fusion update, every open windows shows on the main monitor taskbar and on the monitor on which the program window is running. For instance if I run discord it shows on the taskbar on the main screen as well as the left screen where I have the windows located. I am not sure what changed but it was something recent in either Windows or Display Fusion as I have not install anything else on my machine expect updates for those two things.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? It is kind of annoying to have everything look different after so many years. I keep alot programs open when I am using my flight sim and to have them all show on the main monitor taskbar when they actual windows is on another screen can take up alot of real estate for no real reason.

Thanks for any help

Here is a screenshot showing the windows on the left monitor but the taskbar item for in on the left taskbar and the center taskbar. I rolled back to the last version, prior to most recent, and the issue persists.

Thanks for sending that over, it looks like you have your taskbar mode set to "Windows taskbar shows all windows, DisplayFusion shows relevant windows". If you change that to "All taskbars show relevant windows" in the DisplayFusion Settings > Taskbar tab, it should fix that up.

Thanks!

YEs. That fixed it. Thanks for the help. I thought I had tried that before but I guess now.

I am having the same issue (ocaisionally). Not only is this ocaisional it sometimes does not effect all programs. One specific example: On my right monitor I have open FireFox, NotePad++, and IP Centcom. IP Centcom was the only one from that screen to also show on my main monitor. Today everything from all moitors is showing on my main screen. Attaching the previously requested file :).

I have:
Windows 10 Pro
Version: 21H2
OS Build: 19044.2846

DisplayFusion Pro 10.1.1

Hi David,

Do you have it installed from the Windows Store?

Are you asking if I installed DisplayFusion from the Store? If yes; then the answer is no. I downloaded and installed it from the website.

The only other software I can think you would be asking this about would be IP Centcom and if that is the case then yes (that is the only whay to install it).

Sorry for the delay.. Most of my programs are not from the MS Store and thus should work normally. In the example I gave FireFox and NotePad++ were also effected. To give additional info... That same day/time on my left-hand screen I had Opera, Putty, and Discord "open" and thoes were also showing on my main screen (the center screen). All of those were installed from their respective webbsites.

Interesting, 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

It doesn't look like the log file got attached in that zip folder, could you try those steps again?

Weird it's still not there. If you open the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab and click "Open Log", does it take you to a "DisplayFusion.log" file? If so, you can send it over?

Here you go... so I think I found something that might help.
It seems this issue comes from moving windows between screens... Directly after the update all my windows were showing on the appropriate monitor's taskbar. Then I had to move one program from my center screen to my left screen and now that icon shows in both places :(.
I am attaching two of the troubleshooting files one from before I moved the window and one from after. I am hoping this helps :).
