Hello,

I have a really annoying issue that wasted me quite a few days of troubleshooting performance issues during games because I never thought DisplayFusion was the culprit.

Turns out when I'm playing games with my new GPU and new drivers, the TaskBar on my second monitor flickers every 3-5 seconds. This was giving a huge performance impact reducing my FPS by quite a lot and a sluggish/laggy feeling even though I get 100+ fps during gameplay.

After I closed DisplayFusion now everything works fine.

I tried using compatibility settings but they NEVER seem to trigger, what's up with that ? I used disable taskbars etc it's just useless. Never works.

I would really like to keep using DF, what can I do ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello !

No, I never had that option enabled. The problem occurs with windowed fullscreen games.

I tried both, not at the same time of course.

Things I tested :

I tried gaming with 'Allow taskbar reloading while full screen applications are running' and it stills give me flickering on second monitor taskbar. I did not have time to test performance.

I tested compatibility + 'Allow taskbar reloading while full screen applications are running' and while it does work on open/exit game, it takes 30+ seconds delay to disable/enable the taskbar. Is there no way to make the detection instant ?

I can't really tell, since it's been a messy ride since I changed my GPU.
