The application does not start when you switch accounts in W11 without logging out.

[BarrFarr]

The application does not run on another profile when you switch Windows accounts without logging off.
After switching profiles, the process is still used by the previous user who is still logged in so the program does not run. I solved this temporarily with a task scheduler and a bash script that restarts DisplayMagician.exe after unlocking the computer
Windows 11 version is 22H2,

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Switch Profiles with either Win+L or use Start menu function
2. Unlock with another profile
3. App doesn't start

Expected behaviour
App checks if the process is already active in the background on other Windows account , if so it restarts.

Hi @BarrFarr, This is currently by design. A computer can only run one display layout at a time, and applications running in different people's profiles are unable to see applications running in another person's profile. Rather than handle this situation, I reasoned that most people using DisplayMagician would be doing so on a single user PC. It greatly simplified the code, so I headed down that path. This isn't something I'd be able to make happen in DisplayMagician v2.x , but I will keep this as an enhancement issue for DisplayMagician v3.0 (the next version of DisplayMagician) as DM v3.0 is going to be a complete rewrite. Thanks Terry
