We've made some improvements to the CPU usage so I'm curious to find out if it's helped on your machine.

Beta 16 is better than 15, but still higher CPU with the DF taskbar enabled (4-8%) ]]> RE: High CPU Usage and Screen Saver broken https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#23 Mon, 16 May 2022 23:21:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#23 DisplayFusion So frustrating that, it's still showing 16-20%.

If you have a program you think might be a culprit, you can add it to the DisplayFusion Compatibility list, and disable application hooks to see if that helps.

Yes. I'm now on Beta 14 and running consistently 10-15% CPU when I have DF's taskbar function on. When I turn the taskbar function off, it is 1-4%. On Beta 13 with the Taskbar function on I was running 15-20%. See my other thread here:

@Ryan11241 Okay thanks for letting us know, we're going to make some further changes for our next beta.

@ComfyGrapes23 Glad to hear!

@FredGreco Has your CPU usage risen with our last few betas?

Thanks!

We've just released a new beta that should fix up the screensaver issues. We also made some adjustments that may improve the CPU usage.
Please let me know if you run into any issues after updating.

Beta 13 seems to have solved my CPU usage issues. I am back to under 1% and most of the time around ~0.4% usage. ]]> RE: High CPU Usage and Screen Saver broken https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#12 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 23:34:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#12 DisplayFusion CPU usage no change. Screensaving is accessible again. I keep reverting back to Beta 11 to preserve performance. If you have any questions id be happy to assist any way I can. Love this program

It used to be under ~1-2% most of the time. Now it is consistently around ~10%. I run 3 monitors and I tried to disable Multi-Monitor Taskbars and restarting DisplayFusion but it still maintains the same CPU usage.

I posted it here:
https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screen-saver-settings-problem/?ID=720fd6c7-cf37-41db-84a8-31c6a82dd017

Using the registry edit above, I can turn off DF's management of the screen saver and now it works under Windows management. ]]> RE: High CPU Usage and Screen Saver broken https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#8 Sat, 26 Feb 2022 00:19:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#8 DisplayFusion Sorry for the delay had some family issues.
Anyway
Sadly
no cpu usage stays the same. ]]> RE: High CPU Usage and Screen Saver broken https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#7 Wed, 16 Feb 2022 16:18:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage-and-screen-saver-broken/?ID=a5fff370-94d6-4cb7-a216-9cf593901f15#7 DisplayFusion Interesting, If you open the DisplayFusion Settings window and disable some of the main settings (Titlebar buttons, Wallpapers, Triggers, etc.) does anything in particular cause a drop in usage?
