This function works properly when I have DF closed. It works for a while after I reload it, but it is getting to be annoying when I have to minimize other Windows just to see the one I selected.

Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
Reply with the file attached

Thanks!

Thanks! I've been able to reproduce this issue in Windows build 10240 (same one you're running) but haven't been able to in the latest fall update (10586). When you've had a chance to update Windows 10, can you test again and let me know how it works out? I'm hopeful that the latest update has indeed fixed it up, and that it's not just a fluke that my test machine doesn't have the issue

Sorry Keith, i experience the same issues with windows not appearing, got to minimize to "reach" them. (using latest windows preview version)

I reported this problem like 5 months ago, dont remember how it was fixed back then..

Just experienced it and restarted DF, attaching my log even though its working now. Will the log look different when not working?

Attaching log from when it is occuring.

Its kind of a dealbreaker really.

I wish I could figure out how to reproduce this here. I'm now thinking that the issue I reproduced in 10240 is different than what you guys are reporting. I run Windows 10 all day every day, and never have this issue. How long does it take after restarting DisplayFusion before this shows up? I'm wondering if I'm just not leaving my computer running long enough (I shut down at the end of each day).

Just started getting the behavior again.

Ok, so not long then. Interesting...

Does it occur more frequently with specific combinations of applications running? Which applications do you normally have open when this occurs?

In comparing your troubleshooting info, I've just noticed that you both have your taskbars on the right side of the monitor. If you put the taskbars on the bottom, does that make any difference?

I also have this issue, on multiple machines. It is indeed, a dealbreaker. Very frustrating.

My taskbars are on the left, where I like them.

I've had the same issue. I also use my task bar on the right side of my monitors(3 displays).

A temporary fix I discovered was to move the taskbar to the bottom then move it back to your desired position(left or right)

Hopefully this is resolved with a patch.

Currently running Windows 10 fyi

I have my taskbar on the right-hand side as well and I can confirm moving it to the bottom does correct the issue. Thanks for that tip!

If you guys haven't already, can you try updating to 8.0 Beta 1 (https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta)? I can reproduce this fairly reliably in 7.3.2 now, but can't in 8.0 Beta 1. Just wondering if my test results are inconsistent, or if it's actually no longer an issue in the beta.

Thanks!

I downloaded the beta and the issue persists with my task bar placed anywhere else besides the bottom.

Been using the Beta all the time and have been experiencing it since I installed it.

Ok, thanks guys! We'll keep working on this and will post an update as soon as we've made progress on this.

Ok, I think I've narrowed down the source of the problem, but I was wondering if you'd be able to test something out for me to make sure I'm not just crazy

Can you try the following?

On the Settings > Taskbar tab, set the Window Preview Style to "Previews disabled, show tooltip"
In the Settings > Advanced Settings, set the "Taskbar > Thumbnail Preview Tooltips" option to "Taskbar Buttons and Thumbnail Previews don't have tooltips"
Set the taskbars back to the left or right side
Restart DF
Confirm that tooltips and previews are disabled by hovering a taskbar button on the DisplayFusion taskbar, nothing should show up (Windows taskbar will still show a preview, that's fine)
See if this issue still occurs

Thanks!
