I'll close up this topic then. If you run into any more issues in future versions, just post up a new topic and we'll check it out.

I have had Display Fusion running for several days with application hooks and title bar buttons enabled and I have no more performance issues.
Thanks,
Mark ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#19 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:02:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#19 DisplayFusion @Chris: Interesting! If you could try the following, it would be much appreciated:

• Update to DisplayFusion 4.0 Beta 14
• Re-enable the Application Hooks
• Enable debug logging on the Troubleshooting tab (set it to Logging: Important Only)
• Enable the Advanced Debug Logging option in the DisplayFusion Advanced Settings
• Restart DisplayFusion
• When the DisplayFusion CPU usage runs up, attach a copy of the Troubleshooting info and the debug log (%APPDATA%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log), and note the time that the issue occurred

@sierratango and @Chris: Keep me posted on how it goes with the hooks disabled.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#16 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:25:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#16 DisplayFusion Ok after testing out the new beta 12 for a couple of days, I noticed the issue comes back again. I tried removing some elements from the taskbar (Start & Show Desktop) but needless to say that hasn't helped. However, I have one new thing to report: it seems this issue appears when I resume my computer directly from sleep mode (not the first time, but after multiple times, a few days later).

I don't run n-view so what Mark is facing might not be related to the same issue.

I will try running DF with application hooks disabled now. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#15 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:05:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#15 DisplayFusion So far so good. I re-enabled Application Hooks and Title Bar buttons since disabling NVidia n-view a couple hours ago, and the windows explorer performance problems seem to be fixed. I'll let the PC run for a while logged in and see what happens, but I am optimistic that you nailed down the source of the problem.
I'll post an update to this thread if any further issues are encountered.

And yes, if you could re-enable the TitleBar Buttons and the Application Hooks to see if the performance issues are still gone, that would be fantastic.

Would a logical next step be to re-enable Title Bar Buttons and/or Application Hooks and see what happens with the performance issues? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#12 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:44:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#12 DisplayFusion @Mark: The TitleBar Buttons in your screenshot aren't DisplayFusion buttons

It looks like they might be from the nVidia nView software. Could you check to see if nView is installed, and if it is, try disabling it or uninstalling it? It may be conflicting with DisplayFusion and causing the performance issues.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#11 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 00:44:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#11 DisplayFusion OK!, AppHooks are disabled (I will miss them! But that's ok for now.) CPU usage creeps up over time, it hasn't done it since the two posts in the last thread. I will rport back after it's had time to run w/ apphooks off for the weekend. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#10 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 00:29:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#10 DisplayFusion I rebooted my workstation again since disabling the TitleBar buttons and Application Hooks. Windows explorer is now as fast responding as it should be, but again it always is immediately after a reboot. I am going to let it stay logged in over the weekend and see how it is on Monday morning.

Also even though the Title Bar buttons are disabled, they still show on all windows. See attached screen shot. Is this how it is supposed to be? They even show an all windows when Display Fusion is not running.

UPDATE: Monday morning after having left the workstation logged in all weekend, the windows explorer slowness is present but not nearly as bad as it was before disabling Title Bar buttons and Application Hooks on Friday (delay & processor spike is now 2-3 seconds instead of 10-15). The Title Bar buttons are still appearing even though this feature is disabled. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#9 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:08:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#9 DisplayFusion No worries

Just keep me posted and we'll pick up the Troubleshooting on Monday morning ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#8 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:43:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#8 DisplayFusion Interesting... I disabled the Title Bar Buttons and restarted Display Fusion, but the buttons still show on the window title bars even with Display Fusion exited (from system tray icon, right click and 'exit'). Even on new windows & newly launched apps.

Disabling both of these things (Title Bar buttons and Multimonitor Taskbar) and restarting DF did not have much effect if any on the windows explorer latency issue. Maybe the folder opening delay went down from 15 to 10 seconds. I cannot restart my PC again for a while (I need to get some work done) but I can try that later on and see if that helps temporarily or permanetly. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#7 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:30:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#7 DisplayFusion Ok, how about if you disable the DisplayFusion taskbar, or the TitleBar Buttons? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#6 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:26:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#6 DisplayFusion No such luck - Disabling the Application Hooks and restarting Display Fusion and did not make any difference in the windows explorer latency bahavior, even after completely restarting the PC. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#5 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:08:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/40-beta-12-cpuperformance-issues/?ID=02036834-819b-4352-bf98-e3da78de8967#5 DisplayFusion Thanks Mark!
