I found solution for me in creating the service which runs the script on startup. This script is watching for screen lock/unlock. When the screen is being locked, it enables the auto-hide option. When the screen is being unlocked, it disables the auto-hide, thus resizing all of the windows. Why auto-hide - I discovered it works better than other two mentioned above options.
Describe the bug
When I move the window under cursor with my BTT shortcut (fn + cmd in my case) it is working fine, until I try to move my cursor from one monitor to another. Then the window kind of tries to stick to my MacBooks display while the cursor is moving to my external monitor. If I move the cursor faster the window eventually moves to the other monitor.
Screenshots
(sorry this forum seems not to like sharp gifs. Sharp version: )
It kind of looks like this (first moving the mouse slow and then fast). - Unfortunately I could not record both monitors at the same time, but I think you get the idea.
I just played around with the OSX display arrangements: This only happens when using a top and bottom monitor and the window always tries to stick to the bottom screen (I just switched them around to test this).
I am still experiencing this same issue. Dragging windows under cursor is not smooth, and in some cases it is not possible to drag a window to the second monitor. I have upgraded to the latest version of BTT, but the problem remains.
I tried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup. Could my problem be related to that?
I can see the wifi router but it won't connect and took some time to figure out why. My workaround this persistent connectivity issue is to unplug my external monitor before connecting to the wifi router. This indicates I may have a power supply or power management issue. This issue only occurs in Bootcamp, not macOS so it's more likely a power management issue than a power supply issue. Maybe the factory fitted dedicated NVidia GeForce 750M in the high-end late 2013 15" Macbook Pro uses a lot of power when piping to a 4K external monitor via displayport. Once I'm connected to wifi in Bootcamp I can plug the monitor back in and proceed without issues.
I am totally not sure about the true reason. But just to cope with this trouble, I believe it worth to try it. By the way, when I connect the external monitor, I use the USB-C port on right side (using USB-C > D-sub adapter).
I have a similar problem, except I am using a 2008/2009 iMac (I know, ancient by now) and Windows 7. I have been using Windows 7 on this Mac with wifi for a couple years now without apparent problems, but last week my Mac wouldn't boot up (stuck in endless loading at grey screen) (Windows side did boot up and appeared fine). Long story short, the Mac drive was corrupted and I ended up having to erase my Mac HD, reinstall the OS (I stick with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on that computer), and restore my files with a Time Machine back-up.
Now having done that the Mac side seems to be back to normal, but the Windows 7 now will not connect to the Wifi. I tried uninstalling broadcom as was suggested here and doing the hardware scan. Broadcom reappeared on the list but my wifi connection did not return. Any ideas?
If BC drivers are not installed yet, using Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support find the W8.1 64-bit drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model and test. W10 is not officially supported yet.
If you really want to play with it, install it in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or something. At least the networking functions will work that way. Setting custom screen resolutions is still difficult if not impossible as it doesn't work with the display drivers in most virtualization packages that provide custom scaling, etc.
I think that there has been a long-term problem/bug in evaluating Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) filters for loopback traffic that had been disguised by default settings in Windows 10. A default has changed in Windows 11 and this has allowed the problem to become more visible.
The "missing" local computer is just an easily verifiable manifestation of the problem and not a big problem itself, but I think that some other problems that I have seen in forums might have the same root cause.
After many months of trial and error, I believe I have discovered a reliable workaround for this incredibly frustrating issue, and it was right in front of me all along. For the many years I have been using Microsoft peer-to-peer networking at home, going all the way back to the early versions of Windows, I have always made sure that all of my systems were assigned to the same workgroup. I recently updated my wife's desktop system to Windows 11, at which time it could "see itself" in the network folder. Following my old practice, I changed that system's workgroup to the same name as the other 3 computers, and it promptly disappeared from the network folder. Recalling that I had long experienced this problem with one of my other systems, I switched it to a different workgroup, and it reappeared in the network folder. Several back and forth experiments verified that this works every time. I hope this works for others experiencing the same problem. (By the way, this issue seems to occur only on systems connected to my router via WiFi. My Ethernet-connected desktop computer has never exhibited the problem.)
This almost always works but its effect will not survive a reboot. Tried adding this as a batch file running periodically but the results were unsatisfying and fleeting. I just gave up since it's such a minor, non-critical issue. But it still bugs the you-know-what out of me.
I'm having this problem with a fresh implementation of Windows 11. The fastest fix I've found is :Settings, Network, Advanced Network, Advanced Sharing and just turn the Network Discovery option and the File and Printer Sharing option off and on. The PC will now be visible in Explorer.Turning an option off and on is an old trick.
Yeah this works for me. I find this issue might be more likely to happen if I start actively using my computer as soon as I turn it on and get into Windows rather than waiting a bit. Annoying. Because Sharing doesn't start working ever if you start using your computer too soon after booting and logging in.
Unfortunately, this fix didn't hold long term. After coming out of sleep mode (laptop) or refreshing the network folder, both the local win11p computer and wireless networked printer disappeared again however, both devices reappear again after a reboot---> for awhile which is only better than not at all as before...
There is a link in my first message that leads to a more detailed description of the problem and includes a "pktmon" trace command. If you are prepared to perform that trace and share the captured data, then I would see if I can determine why the wireless printer/scanner is not appearing in the list of discovered devices.
I still had the problem WITH virtual machine, so I put in all features having ANYTHING to do with networking or support there of. First glance the problem is fixed. My old clunky Epson I use only for faxing/scanning anymore is gone most of the time, but sometimes appears. Probably a problem with the printer. Avoid Epson. Various nuisances will likely relegate any unit to trash or partial use. Printing is NEVER problem-free.
Well I know I'm just a sample size of 1 person, but I checked here and I do not see my local PC in this view (I do see other computers on the same LAN). I do have network file sharing/discovery enabled and my network type is set to Private (simple home network).
Thanks for the reply. I am retired, so I don't have access to a wide sample of systems to check this behaviour. I am writing an explanation of what I think that I have discovered and the techniques used to do so (essentially, detailed Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)). Replies like yours will influence the content of that explanation (e.g. how much room for doubt is there).
Thanks for this feedback. It is not what I expected - the private profile is active on my PC and the local computer does not appear. My current understanding of what is happening on my PC also strongly suggests that the Windows Defender active profiles should have no impact on the behaviour.
I don't remember exact wording but on another 10 box when I did the same steps of turning on Network Discovery (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings) I got a notification that its blocked on Public profile and did I want to change to Private. So I went back to the 11 box and sure enough it was still OOB and on Public profile. As soon as I changed it to Private, it showed up in the net hood.
I have written about the problem in more detail at -nebbett.blogspot.com/2022/04/windows-filtering-platform-loopback.html which ends with a note that "someone" was unable to verify that the mooted problem even exists...
