Not sure what hass changed but it's not restarting explorer as much. It doesn't happen with every wallpaper change. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#5 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:42:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#5 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for checking that!

If you disable the "Use transitions when changing..." option in the DisplayFusion Wallpaper > Wallpaper Settings window, does that make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#4 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 18:53:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#4 DisplayFusion It's set to "Don't change the Aero color" ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#3 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 16:56:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#3 DisplayFusion On the DisplayFusion Settings > Options tab, do you have the "Aero Colour Mode" option enabled?

If not, can you also check to make sure "Automatically pick an accent colour" is disabled in Windows Settings > Colours? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#2 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 20:09:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9#2 DisplayFusion Here's a log file from DisplayFusion. The crash and restart of explorer happened at 15:06 in the log. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 16:58:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/explorer-crashes-with-each-wallpaper-change-windows-10-18990/?ID=97f6dda1-3afc-47b0-a4f6-0eb4f07cfdb9 DisplayFusion I paused the wallpaper changes and the crashes stopped. I unchecked "Use tRansitions when changing wallpaper". I would like to continue using the wallpaper slideshow as this is one of the main reasons I run DisplayFusion.
