So i began this saga way back when, with a portable version of displayfusion. Unaware of why i ran up against some windows I could simply NOT move.

After some time and digging, I found out it was due to elevation. So i created a task to start displayfusion as administrator when i started my pc.

problem was solved.

however I recently registered the service manually (and continued to use the portable) to button up the few items that werent addressable without it being present.

I was under the impression that the need for the service was due to the need for displayfusion to be able to elevate itself for such things. Am i mistaken?

I removed my task, and set displayfusion to start with windows via its interface - however even with the service present, I attempted to move an elevated application window, and i could not.

is this par for the course? Or is my understanding flawed?

yea i was sort of thinking the same thing at this point. Its by and large due to a habit ive created over the years that was to get every package that was offered as portable, in such a format.

That spiraled into moving said packages into/running from a dropbox folder so most of my key softwares are always safe and useable across pc's if need be (for the most part).

displayfusion is one of those that seems only partially portable as the settings are actually all saved in the registry and not along w/ the program.
Ive been considering the change but you know what they say about old dogs, and it is "essentially" the same at this point so meh
