I went ahead and tested other configurations and everything seems to be in working order.

As a side note- I have been using a workaround for my workflow. Rather than going down to 1 monitor during work like I used to, I instead now go down to 2 mirrored monitors. One of the displays is on another input anyway, so the mirror isn't noticable. This allows me to go back and forth between 2 mirrored monitors and 3 extended monitors smoothly. I just mention this in case this issue is ONLY affecting me, I don't want to make y'all spend a lot of time diagnosing something that I have found a workaround for in my personal usecase.

Thanks for looking into this. Attached to this I have attached 2 zip files containing logs. The CurrentBuild log contains the current build, with the BetaBuild containing the log obtained uzing the provided beta. I tested the process in both builds in case that's helpful in any way.

In both logs I perform 4 steps, starting in a 1-monitor configuration profile:
1) Enable a 2-monitor configuration (success)
2) Enable a 3-monitor configuration (success)
3) Enable the original 1-monitor configuration (success)
4) Enable the 3-monitor configuration (fail)

This process occurs in both logs. Going from 1 to 3 monitors still does not work for me in the beta (or the current build). The monitor configuration window freezes up, and then eventually unfreezes with no changes having taken place.

The rough timestamps for when the failure (step 4) occurs is around 15:10 for the CurrentBuild and 15:14 for the BetaBuild.

Let me know if I can help further! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#18 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:57:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#18 DisplayFusion We have just released a new test version that we hope will fix this issue.

I use 2 monitor configuration profiles: one for "work" that uses 1 monitor, and one for "personal" that uses all 3 monitors.

I've always been able to easily switch between the two profiles, but recently that has no longer been the case. Now, going from work (1 monitor) to personal (all 3 enabled) does not work. It hangs up and then remains on my work profile. Doing the reverse, however, DOES work. I can go from 3 monitors to 1 monitor no problem.

Further testing has shown that I can go from any profile to any other profile, **as long as I'm not re-enabling more than 1 monitor in one profile swap.**

Examples:
1 monitor -> 2 monitors: WORKS
2 monitors -> 1 monitor: WORKS
3 monitors -> 2 monitors: WORKS
3 monitors -> 1 monitor: WORKS
1 monitor -> 3 monitors: **FAILS** (because I enabled 2 monitors at once)

This is the case no matter which of my 3 monitors I start off with. If just one monitor is on, I am unable to swap to another profile that has all 3 enabled. I would need to first swap to one that has 2 monitors enabled, then swap to one that has all 3 enabled.

Profiles have all been deleted and recreated. Video card has up-to-date drivers. Not sure what more the issue could be. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#15 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 15:45:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#15 DisplayFusion Unfortunatley it doesn't look like there's anything too interesting in there.

So far it seems to be able to directly switch to the new profile. I've recreated my profiles again, to avoid any issues cause by the previously installed version.

However, at one occasion after switching display fusion must have gone stuck in some endless loop again and took all available CPU power. Eventually I had to kill the display fusion process once more. At that time, I did not have any logging enabled and unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce this behavior after enabling logging. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#11 Thu, 01 Dec 2022 19:13:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#11 DisplayFusion Hello,

i think i'm having the same issue with a infinte loop when i switch to a certain monitor profile.
i really hope you'll be able to fix this issue soon. i just bought DF yesterday. but then i noticted it's always crashing when i switch from extended desktop to a single (but mirrored) desktop.
i'm still going to keep it though, because the hotkeys are super useful. but like it is now i still have to use the windows display settings to switch to single desktop setup. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#9 Fri, 17 Dec 2021 17:50:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#9 DisplayFusion We currently have this on our list to look into for v10, but we hold no promises

I’ve recently switched to the current release version 9.8 of DisplayFusion and did a clean reinstall of the AMD graphic drivers. This solved the HDMI issues, but the DisplayFusion issue is still present.

Switching from the ‘default’ to the ‘tv’ profile is not possible and DisplayFusion is probably hanging in an endless loop. However, I accidentally discovered one workaround for the issue. I’ve another profile ‘work’ which is switching my setup with the LG monitor as primary and Eizo as secondary (extended) monitor to using the Eizo monitor as only active monitor. If I’ve switched from 'default' to the 'work' profile and then switch to the ‘tv’ profile (adding the Samsung tv as output, change the resolution to enable cloning of the monitor), the ‘tv’ profile is working. I’ve tried it a couple of times and so far, there has not been any problem.

In short

• default -> tv ==> will not work
• default -> work -> tv ==> is working

Switch directly back from ‘tv’ to ‘work’ or ‘default’ does not have any problems at all.

It seems that there is some kind of ordering required for the changes needed to update the monitor setup. In case of switch from ‘default’ to ‘tv’ profile, this is not handled properly by DisplayFusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#4 Wed, 05 May 2021 17:05:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#4 DisplayFusion Hello,

Strange, it looks like DisplayFusion is getting caught in a loop trying to apply that profile. I've added this to our list to look into, and noted down your contact information, so we'll be sure to let you know if we have any further information on it.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#3 Mon, 03 May 2021 18:32:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#3 DisplayFusion Previously the profile used to work. However, that was some time ago and I did not use the profile for some weeks. Since then, I changed the monitor setup and had some issues with the previous graphic card driver (VLC crashed sometimes if hw-acceleration was enabled), I upgraded the driver as well and created a new profile replacing the old one.

Recreating the 'tv' profile using the usual windows tools is working for the display part without problems. There is only one additional issue that cloning the desktop does seem have an effect that the hdmi audio output device is lost, but that seems to be a windows/driver issue and I will check that sometime later.

Reapplying the stored 'tv' setup with DisplayFusion has the described effect of a frozen DisplayFusion and no monitor setup changes. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#2 Mon, 03 May 2021 18:20:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-unable-to-switch-to-a-specific-monitor-profile/?ID=03d5a92d-a867-4195-b36f-fe20cea58704#2 DisplayFusion Hello,
