I don't really do a lot of these so i'll do my best to describe the problem.
The new beta 12 update is causing a couple issues. My CPU usage has increased massively i was at 1-3% now im at 17+% consistantly. The screen saver funtion doesn't work either if i click "Allow DisplayFusion to manage the Screen Saver" it hangs then crashs the settings menu but not the actually displayfusion itself only the settings menu which is strange.
I'm seeing the same issue with the Screen Saver option. If I click on the tab from Settings, or select it from the right-click context menu, it just hangs for a few seconds and then crashes.
I was able to reproduce that screensaver issue on my end, so I've added it to our list to look into.
For your CPU usage issue, do you have multi-monitor taskbars enabled in DisplayFusion? If so, can you try disabling that and see if the issue persists?
I did some tinkering and in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\ScreenSavers I set ScreenSaversEnabled to 0, which turned off "Allow DisplayFusion to manage the screen saver."
Now when I open the screen saver settings in DisplayFusion, it doesn't crash. I did this because I noticed my screensaver wasn't kicking in at all. Now that I've told DisplayFusion to not manage it, I want to see if the screensaver starts working again.
Interesting, If you open the DisplayFusion Settings window and disable some of the main settings (Titlebar buttons, Wallpapers, Triggers, etc.) does anything in particular cause a drop in usage?
I am also having higher than normal CPU usage DisplayFusion Version 10.0, Beta 12. It used to be under ~1-2% most of the time. Now it is consistently around ~10%. I run 3 monitors and I tried to disable Multi-Monitor Taskbars and restarting DisplayFusion but it still maintains the same CPU usage.
CPU usage no change. Screensaving is accessible again. I keep reverting back to Beta 11 to preserve performance. If you have any questions id be happy to assist any way I can. Love this program
The update has fixed the screen saver issue. I am still running around 4% CPU usage all the time.

We've just released a new beta that should fix up the screensaver issues. We also made some adjustments that may improve the CPU usage.
Please let me know if you run into any issues after updating.
Thanks!
Yes. I'm now on Beta 14 and running consistently 10-15% CPU when I have DF's taskbar function on. When I turn the taskbar function off, it is 1-4%. On Beta 13 with the Taskbar function on I was running 15-20%. See my other thread here:
@Ryan11241 We're going to see if we can see what caused the spike in between beta 11 and beta 12, so I've noted your contact information down. We'll be sure to let you know if we have anything further.
No specific programs known to cause high CPU usage, but there certainly could be a conflict. If you have a program you think might be a culprit, you can add it to the DisplayFusion Compatibility list, and disable application hooks to see if that helps.
So frustrating that, it's still showing 16-20%. I don't know how to I can help get this fixed so if there's anything I can do to help fix this let me know I don't mind doing some troubleshooting for you guys.
