If I'm switching from a profile with one of the monitors on the splitter to a profile without one of those monitors, everything glitches out pretty hard for about a minute.This issue isn't present on other software that does similar things so so I'm not exactly sure why it's happening. If I disconnect the splitter and attach the monitor (it's an AV receiver actually) directly the issue goes away. So for now I'm just living with either not using the splitter or dealing with the issue with the splitter attached. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#15 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 14:39:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#15 DisplayFusion We're a bit stumped here with the log not showing any errors. Are you able to grab a video of your monitors while the issue is happening? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#14 Wed, 30 Jul 2025 13:31:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#14 DisplayFusion That doesn't help. I'm pretty sure the audio is just a symptom of the problem that the app gets caught and hangs partway through the profile switch, because it becomes unresponsive and video hitches a little bit at the same time audio does.

Honestly, I've switched to running some batch files using the free tools SoundVolumeView and WS Display Settings and it works great. It just sucks because I paid for this software. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#13 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 17:18:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#13 DisplayFusion It looks like that log caught the change, but I don't see any errors, it shows it's switching the audio device fine. If you remove the audio device from your monitor profile so it's just swapping the monitors, and then change the audio device manually after, that works fine? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#12 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 20:05:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#12 DisplayFusion This is still a huge problem. With my one monitor config the video works fine but the audio hangs every 10 seconds and DisplayFusion is basically completely frozen for a couple minutes, and in a couple of my other configs the video flips on and off every 10 seconds for a couple minutes until it sorts itself out. I tried full uninstalling DisplayFusion and reinstalling/configuring from scratch, and that didn't help.

I was able to sort of capture logs this time. I force-reproduced the issue while I had the log file open in windows so I was able to save it before it got purged this time. I've attached it and the issue was at about 15:57. This was one of the less severe occurrences of the issue, but hopefully that captured something.

This has become pretty much debilitating for my system so any help would be greatly appreciated, as unfortunately the next step would be uninstalling and trying to find something else that works. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#11 Wed, 23 Jul 2025 22:51:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#11 DisplayFusion Yep and I just tried a 3rd time. Every time the log starts right after the issue, so I think the issue is causing an app restart or log dump as well or something.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling today and that didn't help. I might try full uninstalling and removing all files and settings after that. Will my licence still work if I do that? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#10 Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:53:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#10 DisplayFusion Yeah strange the log is still starting too late, it should start as soon as you set the log level. Just to confirm you're setting the log to Level 1, and then reproducing the issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#9 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 23:24:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#9 DisplayFusion Oh, I thought I'd also mention that the other issue with the error message was resolved with the latest beta update:
" Error: The type initializer for 'ActiproSoftware.UI.WinForms.Controls.SyntaxEditor.Implementation.EditorSearchOptions' threw an exception."
This is now working. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#8 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 23:23:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#8 DisplayFusion Here's 2 more logs. One where the problem happened at 17:06, and the other I don't know exactly but around 19:15-19:20.

I've actually noticed that the debug.log seems to start right after the issue. I don't know if that means the issue is causing the log to refresh as well, but the DebugService.log goes back far enough if that's what you need. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#7 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 12:28:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#7 DisplayFusion It looks like the log starts at 9:42:40, I don't think it captured it. Could you try those steps again? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#6 Thu, 17 Jul 2025 00:22:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#6 DisplayFusion I did also notice tonight whenthe problem happened again, the hitching does seem to come from it trying to switch to the audio device over and over. I manually switched away from the defined audio device, and it kept auto-switching back every few seconds.

The DisplayFusion app and the taskbar menu are almost completely frozen during the issue. If I try to open any DisplayFusion window (the monitor config panel for example) it takes over 30 seconds to open, but once it opens the issue seems to resolve itself. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#5 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:39:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#5 DisplayFusion I was able to reproduce the issue at 9:32 AM, switching to profile "Desktop 21:9". Here's the log.

I also noticed that when this issue occurs, the displayfusion app becomes slow to the point of being almost unresponsive, and the right-click menu on the taskbar gets bugged. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#4 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 12:58:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/switching-monitor-profile-hitches-every-10-seconds/?ID=0197fbf4-8007-7432-8004-58b4c697be67#4 DisplayFusion Could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
• 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

I've had a persistent issue when switching monitor profiles, primarily via hotkey. With a couple of my profiles it seems like occasionally they get stuck in an off/on loop. I'll see the picture on the correct monitor for a few seconds then it'll flip back, then correct, then back over and over. This is either fixed by hammering on the hotkey until it seems to stay, or force quitting Display Fusion.

With another of my profiles, it works, but the picutre and audio stutters hard every 10 seconds until I manually change the profile/audio again.

Sorry to tack on a secondary issue, but I just updated to 24H2 and ever since then a couple of my custom functions have lost their hotkeys and I can't edit them. If I try to edit I get:

Error: The type initializer for 'ActiproSoftware.UI.WinForms.Controls.SyntaxEditor.Implementation.EditorSearchOptions' threw an exception.
The type initializer for 'ActiproSoftware.Internal.tjL' threw an exception.
