I have a 3 monitor configuration using a NVidia card with Windows 10. I setup my monitors with Multi-Monitor Taskbars, Enable WIndows snapping, let DF manage my screensaver and Windows login. I set my primary monitor to the middle screen so I can use that as the default for most Windows functions.
All this is well and good but where I run into challenges is with Monitor Configuration. I want to enable NVidia Surround features so I can use the 5760x1080 display which allows World of Warcraft to span all three monitors but I also want the DF settings applied which I mentioned above so I select the Auto-split option in the Monitor Configuration. However, I can't seem to get the surround features working correctly with the DF monitor settings. I either get surround which treats all monitors as one device which defaults icons and windows behaviors to the far left monitor or I get the DF settings with more independent monitor control but lose the surround option. Is there a way to get both the NVidia monitor surround working with the DF settings?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Setting up the splitting in DisplayFusion after enabling Surround should take care of putting a taskbar on each monitor, a wallpaper on each monitor, and allowing you to maximize windows to each separate monitor.
Regarding the desktop icons, you should be able to just move them to the middle monitor after enabling Surround, and then use DF to save the desktop icon layout.
Hope that helps! Please let me know if you still run into any trouble at all.

I'm having the same problem, only with Windows 7, a 6GB GTX980 Ti and all 3 monitors are using display-port cables. I've tired your solution, but whenever I hit the start button, the menu jumps to the far left screen and sub-menus are hidden behind their parent. Everything works great if I'm not in surround mode, but then things get strange in surround.
What can I do to rectify this problem? Oh, yeah, I no longer get 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 naming of each monitor in DF...just 1. Need help.
It sounds like your splitting isn't quite setup correctly. Could you send me a screenshot of your DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window, as well as the Splits and Padding window?

Keith, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I got busy house cleaning and had workers in for the house. Here are the screen shoots you requested. But I must say I did do a bezel correction in NVIDIA.

Ok Keith,
Here are the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files you requested.

Thanks! The log doesn't show any lines related to clicking the start button or the start menu trying to open. Did you try clicking the Start button on one of the DF taskbars, or use the Windows key on one of the non-primary monitors?

Hi Keith,
Well, the reason I've taken so long to respond is that my entire system went down! First, the displays went into a "loop" attempting to display anything...including the desktop. After some research and work, I was lulled into a false sense of "it's fixed" only to have the system loop into restart-mode!! Needless to say my system is down, I'm using my laptop now, and it seems I'll have to do a non-destructive reinstall of my OS before I can address this problem.
Ok, no worries, sorry to hear that you're running into so much trouble with your system!
