The troubleshooting info looks ok, but if you run into any more trouble, definitely let us know.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-wont-launch-from-desktop-right-click-context-menu-settings-ui-hangs/?ID=24ea3376-9bc2-4496-8bbd-50e55b10eb21#7 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 19:53:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-wont-launch-from-desktop-right-click-context-menu-settings-ui-hangs/?ID=24ea3376-9bc2-4496-8bbd-50e55b10eb21#7 DisplayFusion So, naturally reinstalling 9.1 made the problem go away. But just to play it safe, the log is attached, retested at 2:51pm EST.

Both issues were corrected, to be clear. Context menu works and Troubleshooting tab shows my config. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-wont-launch-from-desktop-right-click-context-menu-settings-ui-hangs/?ID=24ea3376-9bc2-4496-8bbd-50e55b10eb21#6 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 16:43:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-wont-launch-from-desktop-right-click-context-menu-settings-ui-hangs/?ID=24ea3376-9bc2-4496-8bbd-50e55b10eb21#6 DisplayFusion Thanks! Everything looks ok there. Could you enable debug logging, then update to 9.1 again, and send me a copy of the debug log?

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue in 9.1 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

None of the context menu items (wallpaper, monitor config, settings) are working, I have to right-click on the tray icon to access DF.

I don't know if it's related, but when I open the full Settings UI and click Troubleshooting, I see "Error: WindowHandle is not valid" (see attachment), then the mouse cursor flickers rapidly, and after 20 or 30 seconds the dialog hangs. I have to use "Close Window" by right-clicking on the task bar button (I use Start10 from Stardock, not the DF taskbar). This only happens when I click the Troubleshooting tab, everything else seems to work. ]]>
