Hi,
I have a problem with freezing on Windows 11 (fresh install) with Steam version of DisplayFusion. Few seconds after booting Windows up the whole computer is unresponsive (mouse and keyboard are not working) and after a few seconds everything is going back to normal. The problem is gone when I unistall DisplayFusion. Reverting DisplayFusion to default settings didint solve the problem.
Is there an known issue with booting DisplayFusion on Windows 11? On Windows 10 everything is fine - no freezes.
Did enyone had similiar issue?

Does this still happen if you disable the DisplayFusion Multi-Monitor Tasbkar feature?

Yes, it's still there.
Like I mentioned before, same configuration works on the same machine but on Windows 10. The only difference is that Windows 11 is booting from m.2 drive and Windows 10 is on sata3 drive.

update:
I did some more testing and it looks like a first boot of DF is causing the freeze. If I disable autostart of DF and boot it manually the freeze is there.
Maybe this is some lead but Win11 isn't activated, so it's missing some of the theme features. I'll activate it if I 'll be certain that DF will work on Win11 just as good as on Win10 :)

That shouldn't really make a difference. We do have some big improvements coming to the startup performance for the next beta, so hopefully that will sort out the issues on your machine. We'll follow-up as soon as it's available.

Thanks!

Looks like the problem is connected to the latest nvidia drivers (546.29). Reverting to previous version (536.67) stopped the freezing while booting DF.
Hope it's get sorted by whomever is the at fault here :)

Wow, that's an interesting one! I haven't run into that here but we'll see if we can reproduce it with the latest drivers. If we can, we'll look into it further.

Thanks!

We've got a test build of DisplayFusion 11 Beta 1 that we're not quite ready to release to everyone through the auto-updater, but thought you might like to try out as it may resolve the issue you reported. This beta has some very big behind the scenes changes that will improve performance, speed up startup times, re-organizes the main settings window, and adds real time settings changes. We've done a lot of internal testing, but be prepared for a few bugs. We'll collect feedback over the holidays and review it all in January.

Please take a backup of your settings (Settings > Options > Export) before updating and store them outside of the default folder. If you need to roll back to 10.1.2, you can download it at https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/ and install it over top of the beta.

If you'd like to give it a try, you can download it here: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Download/?Package=displayfusion&v11-test=1

Thanks. I tried it and as soon as I installed the newest nvidia (546.33) drivers the freeze while booting up DF came back. When I went back to previous version of nvidia drivers (536.67) the freezing was again gone.
I wonder if anyone with the newest nvidia drivers has the same issue.

I can't seem to reproduce the same issue with the 546.33 drivers here, but maybe it's video card specific. Which video card do you have?

Just a quick update on this, we've been trying to reproduce the issue without success. Are you all still running into this with the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers?
