It essentially is preventing the CPU from idling. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-increasing-system-timer-resolution-to-1ms/?ID=910d31fa-2ea8-4ac5-a2d4-00f1127e3550#2 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 18:18:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-increasing-system-timer-resolution-to-1ms/?ID=910d31fa-2ea8-4ac5-a2d4-00f1127e3550#2 DisplayFusion I can reproduce this here. We're not specifically setting the timer resolution in DisplayFusion, but it's possible that some .NET function we're using is doing it. We'll investigate further and see what we can find out.

This seems unnecessary for a program like DisplayFusion, and wastes power/reduces battery life. ]]>
