Just wanted to say i had disabled Acronis protection and the cpu usage went down to almost nothing.

Today I turned it back on today and it is not effection the CPU, so i think the issue has been resolved

Thanks! :laugh: ]]> RE: 30-50% CPU useage & second monitor 5 sec delay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/30-50-cpu-useage-second-monitor-5-sec-delay/?ID=ed5aea05-2ce2-49b2-91f7-58b719c5fdd9#10 Thu, 14 Jan 2021 18:33:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/30-50-cpu-useage-second-monitor-5-sec-delay/?ID=ed5aea05-2ce2-49b2-91f7-58b719c5fdd9#10 DisplayFusion @Dart: Thanks! Noticed in the troubleshooting info that you're running Acronis True Image. We've been doing some more research here, and it appears the the "Protection" features of Acronis are causing the CPU usage to be amplified 2-3x. We've optimized it from our end as much as we can with DisplayFusion 9.7.2 Beta 2 (released yesterday), but there isn't anything else we can do from our end. We've reached out to Acronis to see if they can offer any insights.

@William: Glad to hear it's better! 9.7.2 Beta 2 has some more improvements so it may lower that a bit more. Note that DisplayFusion has to use a lot of background polling to keep information up to date and catch changes that there aren't hooks available for, so it will always use some CPU, even when seemingly "idle." ]]> RE: 30-50% CPU useage & second monitor 5 sec delay https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/30-50-cpu-useage-second-monitor-5-sec-delay/?ID=ed5aea05-2ce2-49b2-91f7-58b719c5fdd9#9 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 01:48:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/30-50-cpu-useage-second-monitor-5-sec-delay/?ID=ed5aea05-2ce2-49b2-91f7-58b719c5fdd9#9 DisplayFusion

DisplayFusionSetup-9.7.1-TEST2b helped with CPU, it used to take around 10%, now it's around 5%. It's still a lot for a "background program"! Win 10 2004 fully patched, 8700k. Thanks to the devs for the continued support :)

Iv notice that my second monitor taskbar has become sluggish, taking 5 seconds change windows status and the start menu. Iv only just notice that looking at task manager Displayfusion is using anywhere between 30-50% CPU all the time. Power usage is also Very High.

I dont think this is normal. ]]>
