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

Higher CPU usage with the taskbars enabled is expected, as it has to poll to keep various features updated. We'll continue to look into any ways we can improve that going forward.

Yes, that fixed the very high use and now it is back to 8-18% CPU use. Thank you.

I have a lot of browser tabs open but as I closed them, it did not reduce the use.
I noticed that the displayfusion icon has vanished from the system tray and clicking on the hidden icons in the system tray on the secondary monitors does not open the box with the hidden system tray icons. The up arrow appears frozen as its gone a solid colour unlike the rest of the taskbar.

edit: I have a program called Filecenter running and when that closed, the CPU use on displayfusion dropped back to 15% from the 50-60% mark. When I reopened it, displayfusion went back to the 50-60% mark. Filecenter is a document management program. ]]> RE: High CPU on Windows 11 beta (Build 22581) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-on-windows-11-beta-build-22581/?ID=a98a8643-db6f-499e-9ac0-a3f135c19841#36 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 15:13:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-on-windows-11-beta-build-22581/?ID=a98a8643-db6f-499e-9ac0-a3f135c19841#36 DisplayFusion Just keeping this active.

How long did it take for the CPU usage to climb to something noticeable? Was it across an entire day?

I could not quite afford to go back to the version known to eventually overtake my Win 10 Pro system, but I went to the new build 15 and after 12h it continues to operate within 4-9% range. The latter is not great, there are occasional 20% spikes, but at least I do not need to uninstall the build right away. For the sake of this message, I also installed the Build 15 on one of the Win 10 Enterprise systems and, so far, the build operates there at 2%. ]]> RE: High CPU on Windows 11 beta (Build 22581) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-on-windows-11-beta-build-22581/?ID=a98a8643-db6f-499e-9ac0-a3f135c19841#33 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 13:45:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-on-windows-11-beta-build-22581/?ID=a98a8643-db6f-499e-9ac0-a3f135c19841#33 DisplayFusion Owen,
Just FYI - beta 15 does not resolve the problem. CPU without DF taskbar is 2%. With taskbar it is 8-15%. Going back to beta 11.

@FredGreco You can stay on beta 11, or v9.9 if you would like.

@PawelDanielewicz Does the CPU usage start climbing after doing something specific, or does it happen as soon as you enable multi-monitor taskbars?

Owen,

the taskbars on the particular system are always on. After I installed DF Build 14, the CPU usage was low and it went up in my absence. I.e., I cannot really pin it but there was also no particular intense monitor usage activity going on, just presumably some browser windows open. At this moment I am there back to 9.7 as I was unable to work otherwise.

Thanks. just to be clear - when i uodated to beta 13 the CPU spike continued. Should I stay on beta 11 until I gear from you?
