Looks like it's an issue specific to systems running WindowBlinds. I was able to reproduce it here as well. We'll get it fixed up for the next beta ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/latest-beta-update-rendered-system-unusuable-programs-flicker-constantly/?ID=8d5046f0-1413-4bcf-b707-8d2d3901fde4#2 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 17:39:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/latest-beta-update-rendered-system-unusuable-programs-flicker-constantly/?ID=8d5046f0-1413-4bcf-b707-8d2d3901fde4#2 DisplayFusion Ditto to the symptoms hope someone can point me to a beta 10 installer

i have

* WindowBlinds
* Start8
* Fences
* Windows 8.0 x64

also installed ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/latest-beta-update-rendered-system-unusuable-programs-flicker-constantly/?ID=8d5046f0-1413-4bcf-b707-8d2d3901fde4 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 08:58:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/latest-beta-update-rendered-system-unusuable-programs-flicker-constantly/?ID=8d5046f0-1413-4bcf-b707-8d2d3901fde4 DisplayFusion I just updated to the latest Displayfusion Beta (I update to every Beta as soon as I am notified), and immediately my Windows taskbar started to flicker constantly, along with several other windows. Firefox, Steam and the command prompt were fine, while my Start8 menu, Windows taskbar and task manager were all virtually unusable.

This persisted after restarting my laptop several times. I was able to uninstall Displayfusion using the command prompt, and then install the stable release via Steam, which works fine.

Other relevant software I have installed:

* WindowBlinds
* WindowFX
* Start8
* Fences
* Windows 8.0 x64

I have the latest versions of all the Stardock software (I was previously running old versions, just in case it was an issue with the old versions I updated them all - Both the old ones I had and the latest have the same issue when the latest Displayfusion beta is installed).

I have attached a log file from the stable release to this post, along with a video recording of the issue (sorry for the aspect ratio being wierd, not sure what happened there!). If necessary I can attempt to get a log file from the beta.

The stable release seems to have a different problem of intermittent excessive Windows Explorer CPU usage - Does anyone have the installer for the previous beta handy? (which worked fine) ]]>
