Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Pressing Window+D hides UltraMon smart taskbar

Pressing the shortcut key Windows+D, which minimizes all windows, now hides the Ultramon smart taskbar. It will be restored if Windows+D is pressed a second time.

I believe this issue was introduced in UltraMon 3.2.2. I use this key combination fairly often and haven't noticed this problem before.

I'm seeing this in Vista SP2 64-bit. Haven't tried in any other Windows versions.

I've been able to reproduce the issue on 64-bit Vista, thanks for the bug report.

I'll look into this for the next release, as a workaround you could use UltraMon's Show Desktop hotkey instead, which won't cause the problem. You can configure this under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys.

I'm getting this same issue on Windows 7 32-bit. Just noticed it today. I can provide additional information if you'll let me know what you'd like.

Thanks but that's not necessary, I've been able to reproduce the issue on my end.

If you set the y-position of the secondary monitor to 0 (so the top edges are "aligned") or any positive number, the issue goes away. If you set the y-position to anything less than 0, the issue returns.

My monitors (a laptop and an external monitor) are physically aligned along the bottom edge. Is there a way with the settings to get around this issue?

I'm not aware of an additional workaround, except using UltraMon's Show Desktop hotkey instead.

Any way to set the Ultramon shortcut to Win+D?
Christian Studer   2013-04-17 08:16
That won't work as the key combination is already used by Windows.

You might be able to get Win+D redefined using AutoHotKey.

I'm using AutoHotKey to redefine Win+F redefined to bring up Everything.
