Of late DF is slow to close when shutting down W11, not all the time but maybe 40%.
I get a GDI+ Windows(Display Fusion) message asking if I want to abort shutdown to fix it, but it shuts down in 10 seconds anyway.
Just wondering if DF can close faster.:)

The log doesn't seem to have anything interesting unfortunately. Are you able to grab a picture of the error that's shown?

From WinEVT log:
Process C:\Program Files\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.exe is delaying system shutdown after 7344 milliseconds.
I'll try and snap it next time it happens.
Is it slow when you exit DisplayFusion manually, or just when shutting down Windows?

Close it manually and the 2nd taskbar shuts immediately but the notification area DF icon sits there for 8 seconds...
I was able to reproduce something similar here. We have a fix coming in our next beta that should speed it up quite a bit, we'll let you know once it's released.

ClipboardFusion has started doing the same thing!
I've tweaked W11 shutdown timeouts now...
It's just happening when you shut down Windows, or it's slow when manually exiting ClipboardFusion?

Manually exiting is slowish too.

Just jumping in on this. I also have the same issue in Windows 11 where when I shutdown or restart, I would say 8 times out 10 GDI+ Windows (DisplayFusion) is telling me that I need to force close before it can initiate the restart or shutdown. Its on the Windows screen if for example you have an unsaved Word document open. It seems like the GDI+ isnt being ended upon clicking the shutdown / restart so have to force it.

The issue has popped up again with recent minor version updates.
Process C:\Program Files\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.exe is delaying system shutdown after 10593 milliseconds.
Are you able to reproduce this on every shut down?

It's only happened again recently but say 80% of the time or more.
Could you grab an updated log from our latest version and send it over?

Thanks for sending that over, we'll let you know if we need any other info here.
We have some changes in our next beta that should hopefully fix this up, we'll keep you posted once it's released.
Thanks!
We've released a new beta that should fix this up, please let me know if you run into any issues after updating.
Thanks!

I am now having this same problem. Asks to force quit DF every time I shutdown. I recently reinstalled DF after not having it for a while after a reinstall of windows, so this showed up the day I installed DF.
edit: on 12.0.2 from steam if that matters.

Shutdown is fine for me now.
You might want to tweak the registry options as below:
