Sorry to hear that you ran into trouble after installing. I've never run into these issues with any machines here, and if DisplayFusion is uninstalled, it shouldn't be able to affect shutdown at all. Does it show any messages at shutdown, indicating that it's waiting for a program to close before shutting down?

It just means the when you uninstall the software doesn't roll back the changes it has made in the system.
I deactivated pagefile clearing entirely to solve the problem. Not ideal but I canät wait 5 min for a workstation to shut down.

Since you have several reports about this issue I would take it up with the software engineers.
It's 2015. Win 10 is soon to get released. Things like shouldn't happen. ]]> RE: Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#9 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 19:47:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#9 DisplayFusion Sorry to hear that you ran into trouble after installing.

It taked my win 7 system a couple of minutes to shutdown.
Tried to uninstall the software but it didn't help. The only change I made before I uninstalled it was change of windows logon/logoff screen picture. Did reset that but it didn't help.

Kinda pissed at the software tbh. It's 2015. SUch problems should not be existing in any software that messes up your OS.hy ]]> RE: Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#7 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:15:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#7 DisplayFusion Interesting! Could you try enabling the Application Hooks again, and then try disabling each of the following features, one at time to see if we can narrow it down to a specific feature?

DisplayFusion Taskbars (Make sure to disable it on the Settings > Taskbar tab)
TitleBar Buttons
Window Location
Everything on the Window Management tab (you can disable these all at once)
Wallpaper auto-fix settings (Wallpaper Settings button at the bottom of the window)
Random wallpaper changes (if you currently have this enabled)

Thanks! ]]> RE: Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#6 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:35:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#6 DisplayFusion I googled my issue, and this thread came up. I am experiencing similar issues with display fusion. I use the software to set a custom background for the login screen, and there are system hangs during the login process.

I leave my computer on sleep at all times, so the issue presents on wake. Typically there is a hang shortly after it wakes.

Tonight, I had a hang when I woke the system. I attempted to sleep then wake the pc after disabling DisplayFusion (the behavior started after I installed the software), and there was no delay with login. I disabled application hooks, as suggested here, and put the computer to sleep with display fusion running, and had no delay. For the last test, i re-enabled display fusion, and application hooks, and once again put it to sleep. When it woke, there was once again a delay.

I have not yet tested the issue with startup. ]]> RE: Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#5 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:52:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#5 DisplayFusion Strange! The hooks aren't loaded when DisplayFusion isn't running, let alone uninstalled. However, I'm glad to hear that it's working now.

For some reason it was causing the hang, even after uninstalling. ]]> RE: Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#3 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:43:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360#3 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion shouldn't be affecting anything at the login screen as it doesn't startup until after the desktop loads. To verify whether it's DisplayFusion causing the issue or not, could you disable it from starting up (uncheck Start with Windows on the Options tab, Apply the settings), and then restart again to see if the issue still exists?

Still getting a startup pause though. ]]> Slow startups, loss of aero peek and transparency. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:47:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/slow-startups-loss-of-aero-peek-and-transparency/?ID=0cc802ca-126e-4ee6-ab5e-5d52094c6360 DisplayFusion I installed display fusion today and shut down my computer. When I later rebooted again I had a huge pause at the windows login screen (there's only one user, me, no password) which usually only stays for about five seconds.
I also noticed that my taskbars were no longer transparent and the windows aero peek feature is gone, it just shows the name of the program.
I tried uninstalling. Reinstalling and uninstalling again with REVO uninstaller. Reinstalling with the latest beta. I just want to fix this problem as it is incredibly irritating.
Thanks ]]>
