Hi Owen,

I've been running the Beta since last week and so far it appears the issue is resolved, plenty of screenshots and things taken today for work that would normally trigger it and DF is sitting at 112MB Used with neglibile CPU usage.

Regards

David

We've released a new beta that might fix this up, can you try it out and let me know if the issue persists? Here's the link: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Ah yeah it's too big, it won't send. Can you send it over something like WeTransfer or Google Drive?

I think i've uploaded it, the page didn't seem to give confirmation, just reloaded.
DF was using 2.9GB and 90% COU, by the time Windows had created the dump it was 3.7GB
So i had to split the resulting 760MB zip into 2 files for your upload limit - i assume i could load 2 files <500MB in one go...

The next time the usage is high can you open Windows Task Manager, click the Details tab, then right-click DisplayFusion.exe and choose "Create Dump File" and upload the file here? https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Upload

Thanks!

It seems sporadic, at first i wondered if it was triggered when i used multimonitor tool shortcuts to flip my primary monitor between work/gaming mode but it can happen when i haven't done that.
I use the snipping tool a lot as part of my job and thought it could be that maybe - but that's as much because when things have gone doolally the smipping tool might be what forewarns me as there's a big delay between hitting the shortcut keys and the tool activating.

Does it seem to spike on a timer, or is it sporadic?

Hi,

I have something that triggers DisplayFusion to go haywire and i can't pin down what it is.
Usually DF sits bobbling around 5% CPU and <200MB RAM.
Then my PC will start playing up, explorer hanging or Samsung Magician crashed and if i get task manager started i'll see DF is using 20% CPU and RAM is high - i have seen it at 19GB once when i'd been away from my PC and come back.

If i catch it i can sit and watch in taskmanager as the RAM usage just grows and grows until a i restart DF and then it'll be ok again - sometimes for the rest of the day, sometimes not.

I have a level 1 debug log ready to upload and a memory dump (although that's 450mb zip so too large), when i spotted a problem memory was around 500MB and climbed to 1.6GB while i was exporting the logfile and doing the dump - it had got to 1.9GB by the time i then restarted DF.
The time for the DebugLog was around 18:44 when i ntroiced it was likely misbehaving again.

As i sit typing this <10mins later i can see DF is at 80% CPU and RAM usage is 500MB and climbing rapidly - as in >1MB/Sec

CPU has now dropped to 10% but RAM is 750MB and still climbing.
