Displayfussion Access
If you download the trial (30 days fully functional), here is how to set it up like a pro.
Tip #1: Disable Native Windows Taskbars Go to Settings > Taskbar and turn off "Show my taskbar on all displays." Then, let DisplayFusion handle the taskbars. This removes duplicate system trays and gives you a cleaner look.
Tip #2: Use the "Function Key Lock" Modern keyboards annoyingly map F1-F12 to brightness/volume. In DisplayFusion, go to Functions > Input Device Control and enable "Disable Function Key Lock." Now your F5 actually refreshes without holding "Fn."
Tip #3: Create "Floppy" Menus
Hold Shift and middle-click your desktop. DisplayFusion will open a floating menu listing all open windows across all monitors. This is faster than searching taskbars.
Tip #4: Gaming with Multi-Monitors Use DisplayFusion to create a "Gaming Profile." This can disable your secondary monitors (so the GPU focuses only on the primary) and launch your game, then re-enable them when you close the game.
DisplayFusion is a Windows utility that adds powerful multi-monitor features beyond what Windows offers natively. It’s aimed at users with two or more displays who want better window management, monitor profiles, wallpaper control, and taskbar customizations.
It’s intentional. The double ‘s’ signals synthesis and sensation — merging not just pixels but also perception. DisplayFussion is about making the joins invisible and the whole experience greater than the sum of its screens. displayfussion
Ready to stop juggling displays and start fusing them?
DisplayFussion — see the whole picture, not the pieces.
DisplayFusion is a comprehensive software suite designed to overcome the native limitations of multi-monitor setups in Windows. While Windows 11 has improved multi-monitor handling, DisplayFusion remains a standard for users requiring granular control over their digital workspace. Core Functionality
The software provides several "power-user" features that simplify complex display management:
Multi-Monitor Taskbars: Unlike the native Windows taskbar, which often mirrors content or lacks functionality on secondary screens, DisplayFusion allows for independent taskbars. You can set them to only show the windows currently open on that specific monitor, or even add unique Start buttons to each screen.
Monitor Splitting: This is a standout feature for ultra-wide monitor owners. It allows you to divide a single physical monitor into multiple "virtual" monitors, each with its own taskbar and wallpaper. Windows treats these splits as separate displays, allowing you to maximize a window into just one section rather than the entire ultra-wide panel.
Monitor Profiles: Users can save specific configurations—including resolution, refresh rate, and monitor orientation—into profiles. These can be automatically applied when certain conditions are met, such as docking a laptop or launching a specific game. If you download the trial (30 days fully
Advanced Wallpaper Management: It enables different wallpapers for each monitor, spanning a single image across all screens, or integrating multiple image sources like Flickr or local folders for automated slideshows. Automation and Customisation
For advanced users, DisplayFusion offers extensive scripting and automation tools: What Our Customers are Saying - DisplayFusion

Window Snapping: Windows Snap is great, but DisplayFusion takes it further. You can create custom "Snap Areas." Instead of just halving a screen, you can drag a window to a corner and have it snap to exactly 33% of the screen, or 75%. You can configure grids that suit your specific workflow.
Do you undock your laptop constantly? DisplayFusion lets you create "Monitor Profiles." You can save a specific resolution, orientation, wallpaper, and taskbar layout. Then, you can trigger these profiles via:
Windows 11 finally added taskbars to secondary monitors, but the implementation is sparse. DisplayFusion’s taskbars are fully customizable. You can:
