If you don't need to do either of those two things, it's safe to leave it disabled. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#5 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 13:28:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#5 DisplayFusion Looks like it's set to Automatic (Delayed Start). Also, I probably wasn't clear enough in my original posting; this happens when I unlock the computer after being away from it for a while, not necessarily on an initial powerup and login. It might happen then too, but I restart rarely enough that I'm not sure.

Also, what exactly does the service do? I was surprised after I stopped it that all of the DF features I use seemed to still be working fine. Can I just leave it disabled? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#4 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 18:32:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#4 DisplayFusion I wonder if the service is slow to startup for some reason, and everything is kind of blocked while that's happening. Is the service set to Automatic, or Automatic (Delayed Start)? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#3 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 12:04:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#3 DisplayFusion When it's having this problem, the service shows as "Running" in Task Manager. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#2 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 15:14:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b#2 DisplayFusion When it's hung, is the DisplayFusionService listed as Starting, Started, or not running? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b Thu, 07 Dec 2017 12:16:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-freezes-on-login/?ID=89789014-4efe-44df-a52a-28735ba52d9b DisplayFusion My Windows 10 machine freezes for up to a minute or two when I log in, and unfreezes when Display Fusion changes the background picture. I've had the same behavior whether I'm using wallpapers from a local directory or fetching them from the web. Stopping the DisplayFusion service as recommended here seems to fix this behavior immediately, so I'm fairly certain it's DF that's the problem. Any recommended fixes? ]]>
