I have an Issue with the wallpapers on multi-monitor setups with my notebook.
When the notebook is docked or connected to an external display via displayport, the notebook's display shows a shrunk wallpaper - see attached screenshot.

That's strange! If you open the wallpaper window and click Apply, does that fix it? If not, does logging out of Windows and back in fix it?

Logging out of Windows and back in does fix it. But opening the wallpaper window and clicking Apply does not fix it.
Ok, in the DisplayFusion Wallpaper window, could you click the Wallpaper Settings button, and disable the "Use transitions when changing..." option, apply the settings, and then let me know if you still run into this issue?
Thanks!

I did so, and unfortunately the issue immediately occured.

Ok, can you also try logging out/in after disabling that setting and then let me know if the issue still comes up again?

I tried so and it still comes up.
My suspicion is that there is a correlation to my notebook's display (left on the screenshot), which is a high DPI display. The other two monitors are standard DPI displays. Also, it has a 150% scaling - see second screenshot.

Thanks! Could you send me the "Wallpaper_1" (or _2) file from the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\DisplayFusion folder?

Sure, here you go. I attached a current desktop screenshot as well.

Interesting! So the generated image is correct, but the desktop itself is not. It's almost as if Windows just isn't refreshing the bottom and side of the desktop on that monitor for some reason. If you kill explorer.exe in Task Manager, then re-launch it with File > Run new task > explorer.exe, does it update properly?

Yes, that does fix the issue.
Ok, so explorer.exe is definitely just getting into a state where it's not refreshing that section of the monitor properly. However, I don't have a clue why that would be happening. Do you have any other software that modifies the desktop? (e.g. Stardock Fences or something similar)

Not really, the only thing I could think of are the Intel HD Graphics driver. I'm using Clover for Windows Explorer Tabs, though, could that be an issue?
Oh, that definitely could be! I believe it hooks explorer.exe so it could be contributing to the issue for sure. Could you try uninstalling Clover to see if that makes any difference?

That seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks!
