Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
DisplayFusion 4.1 Beta 6 (<a href="http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><b>http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/</b></a>) is now available, and we're very confident that we've fixed up the issues with DisplayFusion hanging/crashing.<br/>
<br/>
Since there are some people who have been running fine already with earlier betas, and some who are still having issues with DisplayFusion hanging/crashing in Beta 5, I've started a new topic for the results of the Beta 6 testing.<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/4-1-beta-6-testing-results/?ID=4e1b763b-36b1-4ac9-9b66-308b548be6b5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><b>http://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/4-1-beta-6-testing-results/?ID=4e1b763b-36b1-4ac9-9b66-308b548be6b5</b></a><br/>
<br/>
I'm going to lock this topic, so if anyone who's still having hanging/crashing issues with Beta 5 could update to Beta 6, and then post the results in the topic mentioned above, that would be much appreciated <img src="https://www.displayfusion.com/MediaCommon/SVGs/FontAwesome/face-smile.light.svg" alt=":)" style="box-sizing:border-box;position:relative;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:middle !important;width:16px;height:16px;" HelpButtonData=":)" HelpButtonDataAlign="BelowMiddle" /><br/>

Sounds good. Here's the Troubleshooting tab & debug log from being away at work. Highwater point: ~2GB. Just as I tried to open the Settings window to copy the Troubleshooting tab, memory usage went from ~1.6GB down to around 300M, and just before I quit DF to restart it, it was down to 100M. Crazy stuff! <img src="https://www.displayfusion.com/MediaCommon/SVGs/FontAwesome/face-smile.light.svg" alt=":)" style="box-sizing:border-box;position:relative;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:middle !important;width:16px;height:16px;" HelpButtonData=":)" HelpButtonDataAlign="BelowMiddle" />

<br/>
It does climb, but not typically to really crazy levels (well, ~400MB is crazy I guess). Primarily, yes, it is during the screensaver/lock time that it climbs (and yes, it is locked to the Windows login screen).<br/>
<br/>
It seems as if the memory does not release itself from those highwater points until I actively "do something" on a display other than my main display. For example, I may have my PuTTY client window minimized on my second screen, and I'll notice the release of memory after I've cursored down over the DF-provided (auto-hiding) taskbar and click on the PuTTY icon to bring that window back up.

Argh, I knew I forgot something.. I missed copying the info from the troubleshooting tab. At any rate, this is what I came home to: 1.8GB memory allocated (up from ~300M before I left this morning).<br/>
<br/>
I'll let it run again overnight and this time I'll remember to get the troubleshooting tab, too.

<br/>
I can do most of that except the whole "wait for the memory usage to increase" because it seems to be a leak that happens over time. I can go to sleep with DF running and wake up 6 hours later and sure it'll be higher, but it won't be at crazy levels. If I want that, I just have to go to work and look at it when I get home, at which point it will certainly have had the time to creep up to crazytown.

<li>Wait for the memory usage to increase (please note the time so I'll know where to look in the log file)</li>
<li>Attach the %appdata%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log file (can be found by clicking the 'Open Log' button on the Troubleshooting tab)</li>
<li>Also attach a copy of the info from the Troubleshooting tab, copied while the memory usage is high</li></ul>
Thanks!

Quick Update:<br/>
<br/>
Display Fusion is using 100% of one of my cores again.  All of the CPU usage is in DisplayFusion.exe.  The process DisplayFusionAppHook.exe is using no CPU.  Memory usage is normal ~80 MB.  Just to be clear, I have <b>never</b> seen high memory usage with display fusion, now or in the past.  My issue is <b>only</b> high CPU usage.  <br/>
<br/>
Seems to reoccur mostly when I have many windows open.  In this case I have probably 35-40 different windows open.  In case it is relevant my computer has been on for 6.5 days.  I am noticing on my left DF taskbar, all of the system tray icons seems to disappear and then reappear sporadically.  The right DF taskbar does not exhibit this behavior.  The left taskbar also has a flashing outlook reminder icon so perhaps that is why only the left taskbar system tray icons are flashing in and out.  Now the left taskbar's program icons are flashing in and out.<br/>
<br/>
Just disabled the multimonitor taskbar feature and CPU usage for displayfusion.exe has dropped back to zero.  Now just reenabled the taskbars and CPU usage is back up to 100% of one core.<br/>
<br/>
Just shut down displayfusion completely and started the program back up.  Taskbars are back up and CPU usage is still zero.  So it seems once the high CPU usage has occurred I must shut down displayfusion before I can have the taskbars on and keep CPU usage low.<br/>
<br/>
Hope this helps.<br/>
<br/>
Paul

<br/>
Not certain if you are still looking at this stuff or not, but here is a fresh dump of the DLL's and a few screenshots. I've essentially stopped running ANYTHING on the machine except when necessary and we still get the same issue. Probably the only items still running are Directory Opus (Explorer-like program), some iTunes/iDevice related services, a service for Macrium Reflect (backup software), and the ATI display drivers (though not their 'Control Center'). Everything else running is a Microsoft-provided program.<br/>
<br/>
One thing you will notice is that in one of the screenshots, the memory usage goes from ~1.2GB down to ~140MB. That was at or just after I logged back in to the machine after getting home.<br/>
<br/>
Another thing is (in the 2nd screenshot) that the Peak Handles as listed by Process Explorer is way the heck up there, but has returned to 'normal' after I had logged back in. This climbed up to ~5300 in the time since I took that screenshot and have written this all up.<br/>
<br/>
Hope this is helpful, because I'd love to see this memory leak go away. It is definitely there.</div></div><br/>
