It's a rough test build though, there are some scaling issues and monitor config issues. You can try it and then roll back to the stable version though if you need to.

where can I follow if/when the new beta is released? It was at /beta before but now there is only the stable version available. Do I overlook something?

I've noticed that my computer was sluggish, checking task mgr DF was consuming 100% cpu on a core. I've followed the suggestion above and have disabled the move option, hopefully that will help.

Running DF 9.5 Pro on Windows 10 Pro 1903. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#26 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 20:03:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#26 DisplayFusion Hi everybody,

I was glad to find this page. I am currently running DF 9.5 Pro on a Windows 10 Enterprise (1803).

My DisplayFusion was regularly hovering between 15 & 20% without any interaction just dealing with the laptop monitor + 2 external ones.

After reading this thread I disabled the "Move button" overlay and applied the settings (no restart of DF) and the CPU usage dropped to around 5%.

It spiked at 12% while re-checking during this message but dropped again in the 5 - 7% quickly.

I will keep an eye on it in the coming days and will try to remember to post an update in a week or so ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#25 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:25:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#25 DisplayFusion Sounds good, please keep me posted

I will need to test more fully to confirm that this interaction between DFP and Bins was the issue.

Thanks. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#23 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 18:38:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#23 DisplayFusion Thanks! I noticed that you're running Bins as well. A long time ago we had an issue where when Bins was running, the DisplayFusion CPU usage would increase. If you disable Bins and restart DisplayFusion, does that make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#22 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 18:19:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#22 DisplayFusion Please see the attached.

I am running this version on a Windows 10 Pro laptop. I typically will have to end task for DisplayFusion and then my CPU usage will drop back down to the 30 - 40% range. I read in the thread above that you recommended that updating to the beta version of DF 9.3 might be a possible solution.

Please advise if you have had good results with DF 9.3 users updating to the beta release on resolving this issue (at least temporarily).

Thank you.

Most of the time it should be under 5%, and usually 1-3%. Could you attach a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Also, if you enable the "Disable Application Hooks" option in the Settings > Advanced Settings window and restart DisplayFusion, does that make any difference at all? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#18 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 13:57:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#18 DisplayFusion Hi,

I am getting consistent CPU usage from DF of 10%-15% and am running the latest build:

• Name: DisplayFusion Pro 9.3
• Name Data: DisplayFusion
• Build Date: Jun 27, 2018 17:45

My question is what sort of CPU would be considered normal? I realize this is dependent on my configuration, but without uploading it all (attached) I was wondering if you can give me an idea of what sort of ball park CPU I should expect, to know if I even have a problem or this is just normal usage?

Thanks,
Andy ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#17 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:48:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-cpu-usage/?ID=f33d2867-3020-454c-bea1-1604f6cc91c0#17 DisplayFusion I was able to trigger it intermittently but fairly frequently by unplugging and plugging monitors in, but it's possible that other scenarios could have triggered it as well.

I was finally able to reproduce the runaway CPU consistently here, and we're 99.99999% sure that we've gotten it fixed up. We released 9.3 this morning, but then found and fixed the CPU bug, so we've reposted it as DisplayFusionSetup-9.3c.exe. If you've already updated to 9.3, could you re-download it from our website and install it? Double-check that the setup file downloads as DisplayFusionSetup-9.3c.exe.

For me with DF 9.1, it is not at startup, but more rarely 99% utilization under heavy usage. But in my situation, Windows 7 Pro (2 large monitors), with many processes and windows open. It is not easily re-created, but when it does happen, killing all resident DF processes, restarting the DF resolves the issue. I am often using evernote, chrome (incognito many tabs/windows), office 2013 (Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) and often shooting windows to other monitor. When it does occur, I cannot get active windows to be responsive. I always Start with Windows and leave on Check for Updates Automatically.

Is there anything I should be trying to do in Task Manager at the time it occurs to help isolate? I usually am sorting by CPU Time (descending), and most other processes are below 1% when I am in the midst of the issue. ]]>
