i'm using 2 monitors on windows 10. when creating a new desktop on the primary monitor, the secondary monitor stays as is.

is there a way to split the monitors per desktop?

I have just encountered this as well. Unless I disable the custom DisplayFusion taskbar, multiple desktops (virtual desktops) do not behave as expected.

I'm experiencing this issue. This isn't fixed yet, is it?

Hi,
I have the same problem with 6 monitors on Windows 10. An issue will be very appreciable because it's a great feature and Display Fusion is a great tools
Hope it could be available in the next release !
Regards

This would be a great fix.

I too I having this problem. I have found a work-arround. I am using Dexpot (available at www.dexpot.de and is free for private use) for my Virtual Desktop manager. I have tried several and they all have problems, but as far as I can tell Dexpot only has one problem.

When I switch between virtual desktops, Display Fusion toolbar icons from the previous desktop will be visible. Move your mouse over them and they disappear so I have learned to live with this. Maybe Binaryfortress can fix this?

Dexpot also assigns numerous keyboard shortcuts so you might run into conflicts, but it can be managed.

That being said I wish DisplayFusion would handle the virtual desktops too, not just to be compatible with them in Windows 10. It seems to me like we are waiting on Microsoft to fix its Virtual Desktops before DisplayFusion can be fixed.

Perhaps Binaryfortress could write it's own virtual desktop manager, or maybe even acquire Dexpot.

I have the same problem: When I switch to a virtual desktop #2 (VD1), the secondary toolbar from DF displays icons from VD2. Very confusing.
this problem is a big showstopper for me for using DF.

I'd also like to voice my support for a fix to this issue. I have started to use multiple desktops routinely in many of my workflows, and the fact I can only do it one screen is very disappointing.

I still love DisplayFusion though, so thanks to Keith and the devs for all the work they do to make a great product even better.

As this thread has been opened over a year ago, i am wondering if there are major issues fixing this or if it's just low priority ?

Thanks for the update Keith!

To everyone else, I've been using an acceptable work-around.

The error does not occur when you switch the setting found in:
Settings > Taskbar > Taskbar Mode

From: "All Taskbars Show Relevant Windows"
To: "Windows Taskbar shows all windows, DF shows relevant windows".

This allows windows to keep track of all existing windows on its own taskbar, and thus circumvent the issue.

It's definitely not perfect for obvious reasons, but I've made it work. My DF taskbars stay uncluttered on my smaller/side monitors, and since the Windows taskbar is on my main/biggest monitor there is space for the additional icons.

Any fix for this get? Still having problems, would be so cool if it works!

Need. I just turned DF off

Windows 10 supports multi-monitor taskbars natively now. Disable it in Display Fusion, then go to Settings -> Personalization -> Taskbar. Scroll down to the Multiple Displays section, turn on "Show taskbar on all displays," set "show taskbar buttons on" to "taskbar where window is open," and set "combine buttons on other taskbars to "always, hide labels," to get the same behavior as the DF version.

I have custom taskbars with DisplayFusion. You cannot do that with what you suggest.

I have be using the new Windows 10 "Show taskbar on all displays" and turned off Display Fusion's Multi Monitor Taskbar due to the issues in my previous post on this thread. Like other though, I prefer the customization DF's MMT provides.

Given that Window's 10 has the ability to only show applications open on the current desktop on their respective taskbar, I am hoping you also have some API options to the issues in DF's MTT.

Hello again Keith and the DF team, just checking in a year later. Any progress on this item? Has it been de-prioritized because of the difficulty or passed over as not possible? I'm a programmer too, so I understand if that's the case.

I still love DF, this is just the final feature I need for it to be perfect.

Is it possible that this issue were solved / implemented? i noticed that the programs are nolonger shown in the DF taskbars when i open a new Desktop.

Still hoping this small bug would be fixed. One of the main features I like is having 'separate' taskbars. I can understand the implementation to fix may be hard but maybe there is a way to sort to distinguish the active windows in the current window and those that are in a different window.

Are there keyboard shortcuts to move a window to the next/previous virtual desktop?
Or a way to automate the creation of virtual desktops on system start?

There may be a custom or scripted function that somebody made somewhere, but I don't see one by default in Settings > Functions, only for window positioning within the current desktop.

Windows should natively remember the number of virtual desktops you had open at last shutdown, and automatically create that many on startup, but it will not open applications onto any desktop but the current one by default.

There may be some way to do this in DF Settings > Window Position Profiles, but I don't see a given option for desktop selection.

These are both exellent candidates for future features in my mind, but knowing the difficulties that Keith has talked about with DF managing virtual desktops I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Ditto

Hi. I would love to see this feature implemented. It looks like it has been low priority for a while. Have you considered implementing your own virtual desktops instead of relying on Windows?

Hi!
Same problem here. 8 years passed and nothing solved yet?
