Hello all,
I have a fresh install of both Windows 10 and Displayfusion, and it seems like Windows 10 is overriding Displayfusion. I only see the Windows 10 background, but I see an image from my wallpaper folder in Displayfusion when it is open.

Thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully it's just a setting I've misapplied. Here's the log file:

Unfortunately that didn't work. I feel like I'm missing something, but I'm not that familiar with Windows 10, I hung onto 7 for too long. Right now I have the default Windows wallpaper set, and then when I open up DF and apply the wallpaper, it changes my background to whatever color I have set as default in Windows. It's almost like it's turning the images 'clear'. I'll keep tweaking settings.

Yes, that image matches what should be displayed in DisplayFusion. I'm far from an expert, but since I'm just guessing here it seems like Windows is not allowing DisplayFusion to manage the desktop wallpaper even though I have that option checked.
-edit-
A permissions issue maybe? I checked my sync settings thinking that might be it but they're off.

Yes it is. Something odd that I noticed: If I change my background from solid color to image, the change only lasts about 10 seconds and then reverts back to that solid color. I'm going to try a reinstall of DisplayFusion today and see if that helps.

I did some testing, and it's pretty odd. I still had the issue where when I changed my wallpaper settings in Windows from "Solid Color" to "Picture" it would keep those settings for about 5 seconds and then revert.
I then uninstalled it and tested the wall paper settings and they held.
Reinstalled DisplayFusion and I'm back to the same problem again. If I uncheck "Allow DisplayFusion to manage the Desktop Wallpaper" I can get Windows to stop reverting from solid color to a picture.
It seems like the problem is Windows and Displayfusion fighting over who has control.

Nope, clean install of Windows, and DisplayFusion was probably the third program I installed. Don't waste too much of your time on this. My software key is probably 10 years old or more, so I've definitely got my money's worth out of it. I'll keep trying random things.
