• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Restart DF and wait a couple of minutes
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Does it look for them via a hard coded path? No way to find the directory directly from looking at the exe's that are running? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/not-sure-how-this-keeps-happening-but-nvsmartmaxapp-detectionremoval-is-broken-again/?ID=0a87112e-b3ba-4528-ba7a-0bd246104653#2 Tue, 07 Jul 2020 21:29:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/not-sure-how-this-keeps-happening-but-nvsmartmaxapp-detectionremoval-is-broken-again/?ID=0a87112e-b3ba-4528-ba7a-0bd246104653#2 DisplayFusion Good grief! Would you be able to send me the path to those files on your machine? I wonder if it's changed again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/not-sure-how-this-keeps-happening-but-nvsmartmaxapp-detectionremoval-is-broken-again/?ID=0a87112e-b3ba-4528-ba7a-0bd246104653 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:52:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/not-sure-how-this-keeps-happening-but-nvsmartmaxapp-detectionremoval-is-broken-again/?ID=0a87112e-b3ba-4528-ba7a-0bd246104653 DisplayFusion Just installed the 2004 update and along with it, the new Nvidia drivers to enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Noticed my central taskbar wasn't auto-hiding again, and upon checking task manager, ofc nvsmartmaxapp.exe (and nvsmartmaxapp64.exe) are running again. Opening DF doesn't show any prompt to disable. On 9.7 now. ]]>
