Glad to hear it's working! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Hi Nathan,

Can you try updating to our latest beta and see if the issue persists? Here's the link: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Let me know how that works!


This beta version (9.7.2) seems to restore the old functionality.

    - Windows move as expected.
    - The behavior is consistent.
    - The computer is no longer placed in an unresponsive state for 10+ seconds while a lot of nothing happens.

This means I've adapted my home setup to doing 8 hours for my employer.

I have three screens.

24" - 30" - 24"

In "Home" configuration, my chat windows are on the left 24" including the buddy list (Trillian). My music player, web browser, and Outlook are on the right 24".

In "Work" configuration, I move all of what I just mentioned onto the center 30" as the wing 24" screens get taken over by my work laptop.

I've had a hotkey-aware profile for each setup. In DisplayFusion 9.7.1 (this has been going on for ~2 months now at least) I often have to press the hotkeys (ALT-SHFT-W/H) multiple times before all windows are moved to where that profile says they should be.

    - Sometimes, the windows don't move at all.
    - Sometimes, only some of them move.
    - It's a crap-shoot as to which ones as well so I can't say "Trillian consistently misbehaves" for example.
    - While the move is executing (whether it works or not) my computer becomes unresponsive. This lasts for 10-20 seconds.

What debugging should I enable to generate useful logs when I press these keys? ]]>
