I suspect it was Windows Defender locking files during the installation of previous versions because nothing has changed in our installer. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#13 Fri, 01 Jun 2018 20:47:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#13 DisplayFusion Thanks just got it. Curious as to why recent versions require a system restart though. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#12 Tue, 22 May 2018 14:59:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#12 DisplayFusion Ok, glad to hear it!

So with logging enabled, it didn't auto-start with Windows? Did the screen go black when you manually started it?

If not, can you try disabling logging and rebooting again to see if you get the black screen issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#8 Fri, 18 May 2018 21:01:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/black-screen-after-updating-to-latest-beta/?ID=38eacb4f-f718-44d6-8418-923b24a4fffe#8 DisplayFusion Here is the file.

Could you enable debug logging, then reboot and send me the log?

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