We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

That must be my issue as well - I am not intentionally running Classic/Basic, but Win7 periodically complains about (graphics?) memory and drops me into basic mode. Hoping my new PC won't have the issue. Seems to have appeared with an nVidia update.

I'm not sure if that's possible, but we'll certainly investigate further to see if there's anything we can do

Thanks for the update, Keith! If nothing else, could they detect basic mode and let the previews fill asynchronously? Might be a decent/easy stopgap, depending on the code structure.

Yep, that seems to be it. When DWM is disabled (i.e. if you're using the Aero Basic or Windows Classic themes), it seems to be slow to generate the previews. Not sure what we can do here, but I've put it on our list for further investigation

Thanks!

Hi Keith- Im running Win 7 64bit and Windows Classic theme. If it matters, I have the following enabled/disabled per graphics: http://prntscr.com/7pwdit

@NetMage and Peter, are you also running the Windows Classic theme?

Mine also is slow, and I'm wondering if my difference is theirs. I run my windows 7 in as cut-down a visual style as possible. No Aero, no nothing. Looks like win2k, basically. Maybe try setting up a box or a VM and doing that to an instance of win7.

@Peter and NetMage, which versions of Windows are you running on? My Alt+Tab Handler is instant on my main and test machines I have here.

NetMage- how do you disable the Alt Tab handler?

I am seeing a similar issue - Alt-Tab window is very slow (a few seconds) to appear.

With Alt-Tab handler disabled, speed is fast. Turning off show window text and show desktop window doesn't speed it up.

Since I primarily use Alt-Tab to pop to the next window, I have disabled it for now.

Any update on this? Im on Win 7 and Alt Tab is slow despite DF/PC reboot.

Ok, strange that just a DisplayFusion restart doesn't fix it up. When it starts to slow down, is the memory/CPU usage for DisplayFusion.exe or Explorer.exe high at all?

RE: Alt+Tab Handler slow again

The whole computer. Restarting DisplayFusion doesn't have any effect

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:45:54 GMT

Ok, interesting that it slows down over time. When you say that restarting fixes it, are you restarting DisplayFusion, or the whole computer?

RE: Alt+Tab Handler slow again

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:48:55 GMT

I'm usually running maybe 5 programs (that appear on the Alt+Tab Handler) at once. Those include Steam, World of Warcraft, Dolby Axon, foobar2000 and Google Chrome. I fix the slowing down by restarting but it gets unbearably slow towards the end of each day, so I have to keep restarting.

I tried disabling the DisplayFusion handler to see if it's just my computer slowing down, but the Windows one is instant, but slows down the moment I enable DisplayFusion.

There isn't anything out of the ordinary in the log. Does it make any difference as to which programs are running, and how many? Or is it just always slow, regardless?

RE: Alt+Tab Handler slow again

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 19:52:21 GMT

Any idea on what it can be?

RE: Alt+Tab Handler slow again

I've attached the log files

RE: Alt+Tab Handler slow again

Binary Fortress Software — Sat, 10 Jan 2015 22:13:09 GMT

Would you be able to send over a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
Restart DisplayFusion
Open the Alt+Tab window
Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks!

Hi. Whenever I alt+tab there is a huge delay before it appears. I have no idea what the cause is. I'm using the latest beta (7.1.0 beta 3) and I've tried downgrading to the latest stable version and it still gives me the same issue. Please help it's killing me ><

Thanks!
