Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks for sending that over. If you open your registry and head to this path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Compatibility, are the missing settings being deleted when you reboot?

Also just to confirm, you don't have a script enabled to import a backup of your settings when your computer starts?


To your question 1 : No, it seems the missing apps have a few but not all of their registry settings being deleted. Let me explain : I normally have 22 apps in my Compatability settings. But the only ones that are now showing in DisplayFusion Compatability settings after the reboot have their names in the registry under a path. All the missing ones don't show a path in the registry anymore. I attached a pic so you can see what I mean. App 2 (Brave) shows a file path (and that's not missing). But Apps 21, 22 and 23 are missing file paths and are thus missing in DisplayFusion.

EDIT : Hmmm, I just noticed that all the non-missing apps are in my C: PortApps folder. It seems Display Fusion is skipping/failing to load all the other Compatability apps that I have in Program Files and Program Files (x86). Big clue? Also, I need to clarify that this problem is intermittent. I can reboot, stop and restart a few times and it will all work great. But then it happens again. Thanks for your help.

To your question 2 : No ]]> RE: Compatability Settings often don't save after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#8 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 15:15:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#8 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over.

One is titled before reboot and the other is titled after reboot. As you can see, half the applications that I put in compatability are gone after reboot.

  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

Do any other settings get reverted after a reboot, or just the compatibility settings?


Hi, just the compatibility settings as far as I can tell... ]]> RE: Compatability Settings often don't save after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#4 Mon, 04 Mar 2024 14:52:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#4 DisplayFusion Do any other settings get reverted after a reboot, or just the compatibility settings? ]]> RE: Compatability Settings often don't save after reboot https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#3 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 14:11:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/compatability-settings-often-dont-save-after-reboot/?ID=018df4e8-f6f5-72dd-a748-d41f0a977891#3 DisplayFusion

I have all my settings saved in a reg file and have DisplayFusion set to start with Windows. After a reboot I noticed that half of the apps I have input into my Compatability Settings are gone. So I reimport my saved settings then they are all back. But after a reboot half are missing again. Can you please fix this? Thanks :-) ]]>
