So yesterday I finally got around to getting a good deal on a 4K monitor, and put it in the middle of my triple monitor setup. Prior to this, I had triple 1440p monitors, and DisplayFusion ran beautifully. As soon as I hooked up the 4K monitor, I began having issues.

Attached, you'll find both my troubleshooting log, as well as a screenshot of the problems I'm having.

The problem seems to be with the Wallpaper slideshow, which I use as a core experience feature. Right now, I have it set to pull 4k wallpapers from a folder, and the 1440p wallpapers from WallpaperFusion. Prior to this, I simply had a ton of triple-screen, spanned 1440p wallpapers, so if this issue affected me before, I wouldn't have experienced it.

Anyway, what happens is that sometimes, when the wallpapers change, they tile and simply "weird out" (yep, great technical description, but best I can do). The wallpapers get mixed up with different pieces of wallpapers all on different screens. If I keep running w/o rebooting, my taskbar will eventually disconnect and move to the middle of the screen, and finally, just become unusual.

At first, I thought it was because I was running Fences (tried 2.x and 3.x), my favorite desktop icon organizer. Because when the wallpapers would get tiled-up, my Fences would get messed up and moved around to different monitors, and if I moved them, they would leave black streaks behind them that would erase the wallpapers. But, I removed it and am still having the issue.

Sorry for the late reply on this: I broke a wisdom tooth and have been dealing with that.

The time really depends. I work from home (I own a web hosting company) so my computer stays on 24/7 for sometimes weeks at a time, so this crops up eventually, although I finally just got rid of Fences, and it seemed perhaps that I had beat it.

However, this morning, I rebooted, and almost immediately, it was doing it again. Below are a series of screenshots where I'm moving to the "next image" in the slideshow, and you can see that the images are again, "tiled" (which is the only thing I can think of to call it). It's quite disconcerting when it happens.

I've also included screenshots of my settings screens. Since it will only allow me to do two attachments, I've done it in a zip file for the screenshots, and then put my troubleshooting output as the other attachment.

Am doing a manual check for updating now.

By the way, I did notice today that after a reboot, everything was fine until I ran Steam. As Steam ran and booted up, the wallpapers did their "tile" action. As I am a gamer and almost constantly run Steam, I may not have noticed this before. Just a bit of additional information.

So I am going to tentatively say that this may have fixed the issue. I've even been able to reinstall Fences3, and haven't seen any issues as of yet. Interestingly enough, I had to use the MediaCreationTool from Microsoft to do an offline update to get to the Anniversary Edition, but I got it done.

If I don't see any issues in say a week, I'll report back that this was a fix for me.

Thanks for your help.

As Always,
Don
