I'll update you if it happens overnight. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/creating-thousands-of-helper-processes/?ID=933fb52f-3d1f-4b5a-8c87-49ebe18babbe#2 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 16:14:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/creating-thousands-of-helper-processes/?ID=933fb52f-3d1f-4b5a-8c87-49ebe18babbe#2 DisplayFusion That's definitely not normal! Do you have the Windows Logon feature in the DisplayFusion Settings > Enabled? That should be using a helper process to set the lock screen image, but the helper process should terminate as soon as it's done.

Would you be able to send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L2: Log Detailed"
• Restart DisplayFusion
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. ]]>
