In order to resolve some display scaling issues, we need to create the window, so on startup it's created but invisible. This also helps the Clipboard Manager window display quicker the first time it's invoked by the user. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#7 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 19:47:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#7 ClipboardFusion I believe there's a legitimate reason for that but I will check with our developers on it. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#6 Sun, 16 Aug 2026 07:55:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#6 ClipboardFusion It is only half-fixed in 6.4 Beta 2.

After a fresh reboot into Windows 11, opening Task Manager still shows ClipboardFusion in the 'Apps' category on the 'Processes' tab. So it is still incorrectly considered to be a foreground/active window initially. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#5 Fri, 14 Aug 2026 19:06:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf#5 ClipboardFusion We've just released a new ClipboardFusion beta and this issue should be fixed up. Multiple staff here have tested with both debug builds and the final installer build of 6.4 Beta 2 to confirm. Please let us know if you still run into this issue after installing.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:36:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-manager-window-is-in-a-confused-state-after-fresh-login-to-windows/?ID=019fb599-d6e8-75f7-b7b4-3163b45d69bf ClipboardFusion When ClipboardFusion is set to start automatically with Windows, the Clipboard Manager window starts off in a confused state. With ClipboardFusion just running in the tray initially after login, the Clipboard Manager is not supposed to be considered a visible/foreground application window by Windows, but it is.

Steps to reproduce (and 2 different ways to see the problem):

1. Do a fresh, full reboot of Windows 11 (with the fast start-up feature disabled to ensure that it's a truly fresh login session) and then log in to Windows. At this point, ClipboardFusion should be running in the tray, but do not interact with it in any way.
2. Open Task Manager to the 'Processes' tab. Notice that in the 'Apps' category (as opposed to the 'Background processes' category) ClipboardFusion is listed. (This is the first way to notice the problem. Before the Clipboard Manager has been shown for the first time, Windows thinks that ClipboardFusion is an active, visible window).
3. Lock Windows (WinKey + L), and then Unlock Windows. Notice that as soon as the Desktop appears, the Clipboard Manager window appears in the foreground unexpectedly. (This is the second way to notice the problem).
4. After dismissing/closing the Clipboard Manager window, it is then no longer in a confused state for that Windows session. If you go into Task Manager at this stage, ClipboardFusion correctly shows only in the 'Background processes' category.

I really hope this will be fixed for CF 6.4 Beta 2. ]]>
