I was extra cautious and followed these steps, although I'm not sure if they were all necessary: I uninstalled the .NET Runtime (it offers a repair function), rebooted, installed .NET Runtime again, then installed DisplayFusion and restarted. After that, everything worked.

I then installed the latest Beta version, but DisplayFusion still failed to run. As a workaround, I installed version 10.1.2 via Steam, which initially worked. However, after automatically updating back to 11.0.5, the problem resurfaced. Guess I am sticking to 10.1.2 for the moment. ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#30 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:02:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#30 DisplayFusion @Hector11: I see that you've already requested and received a refund on January 6th.

The only way I could get this issue to happen was by installing either AVG Antivirus or Avast Antivirus. We can't make changes to 9.9, so at the moment the only fix is to update to the latest beta. We are planning to release the final version of 10.0 fairly soon as well. ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#27 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 20:30:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#27 DisplayFusion

My Display Fusion stopped working last week and could not figure out what happened. I updated to the beta and now I'm back up.


Same here, I tried version 9 without any success; tried Beta, and it worked.
I wonder if DisplayFusion can find what might be the reason..... ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#26 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 09:19:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#26 DisplayFusion Hi
Is there any chance this issue will be fixed in current version 9.X or not, and the only way to fix it is to install 10.0 Beta ? ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#25 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 01:09:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#25 DisplayFusion Just to chime in, I got this issue immediately after installing
"2023-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022906)"
Removing this update didn't work, and it left behind a Servicing Stack update (10.0.19041.2664) which can't be uninstalled.
I was actually getting really desperate about this, as my workflow relies on SO MANY shortcuts that DisplayFusion provides (I can live without the wallpapers for a while). Thankfully updating to the most recent beta fixed this!
EDIT: And to clarify further, I was getting high CPU usage from both DisplayFusion.exe as well as DisplayFusion service, and wasn't getting DF in the tray, and DisplayFusion service was always listed as "Starting" under services, never reaching "Running" status.

EDIT2: And no AVG either. ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#24 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 22:59:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#24 DisplayFusion TechLobo: The workarea bug is a Windows issue where it won't reserve the space correctly when we create the DF taskbar (Windows should do this any time an AppBar window is created, which is what the DF taskbar is). The original error dialog mentioned Start11 as it's the app that we've seen cause this issue the most, but it's definitely possible that other apps can cause it too :( ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#23 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 06:05:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#23 DisplayFusion My bad - just noticed the forum topic relating to Beta 21 which deals with this message.

I have left the above message as it indicated that this is not only with Start11 ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#22 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 05:56:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#22 DisplayFusion Since installing the Beta I have been occassionally getting a taskbar resource message (see attached).
This did not occur previously.
I do not use Start11, but do use StartIsBack+ 2.9.17 - however as stated I have not seen this message prior to installing the DisplayFusion Beta.
I am assuming that the option referred to in the message is within Start11, and not DisplayFusion.

Had the same issue on windows 11 after I installed the Windows 11 KB5022845 (22H2) update. Display fusion was running, it appeared on my task manager but not on my system tray. It won't do anything and wouldn't open any windows. Installing the beta fixed the issue.


Same here. Update installed last night. This morning DF not working. I even tried uninstalling the updates but it wouldn't let me saying there has been an error. Installed the DF Beta and everything is up and running again but that was a good three hours of troubleshooting. ]]> RE: Display fusion not running correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#19 Mon, 20 Feb 2023 08:32:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-not-running-correctly/?ID=5e7323d7-4e26-4161-80a1-09c94eaca8cb#19 DisplayFusion Had the same issue on windows 11 after I installed the Windows 11 KB5022845 (22H2) update.

Could you create a new topic for that issue and attach a debug log? Here are the steps to get the debug 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
