It seems that my DF monitor profiles are not being detected automatically. If I undock my laptop, it will change all applications and task bar settings to just the laptop, but it does not load the "Laptop Only" Monitor Profile (it is not shown at the top of the DF Monitor Configuration window, and the associated Desktop Icon Profile for the Laptop Only Monitor Profile is not loaded).
The same thing happens when I dock the Laptop into my Home Docking Station (2 Monitors) or into my Office Docking Station (3 monitors).
I find that I either have to load the Icon Profiles manually, or I have to Load the Monitor Configuration Profiles manually.
I don't know if this could be the issue, but I have Two 2 Monitor Profiles for Home (depending on which Monitor [Dell or Samsung] is attached to the Docking Station), and I also have Two 3 Monitor Profiles for Office (depending on whether the 3rd monitor is Landscape [usual scenario] or Portrait [not very often] ).
It seems at the very least, the Laptop Only Monitor Configuration Profile should load when DF sees that there is just the Laptop Display connected.
Maybe there is a way to designate a Default Profile to use for 2 or 3 monitors connected when there are multiple profiles, but I have not found it.
Does anyone have any insights on how to get this working as I would like?
Thanks,
Carey

If you undock, then re-save the profile (you can click Save, and choose the existing one to overwrite it), does that make any difference?
