Hey guys!

I recently noticed that DF is eating up a LOT of memory. I've not had opportunity to test why it might be happening, or how quickly it escalates, but as you can see from the attached screenshot from Oct. 4, it was using 2GB, and when I restarted it just now, it was over 1.5GB. Just prior to restarting the application just now, my screen was flickering, Explorer seemed to lock up and eventually reset itself, and my mouse movements were jittery. So when I opened Process Explorer and saw (between screen blinks) that the memory had gotten high for displayfusion.exe, I closed the application, and things returned to normal. I can't verifythat those other symptoms were related to DisplayFusion's memory usage, but I thought I'd tell you in case it's pertinent. Interestingly, I haven't had my other monitors enabled the last few days, and I have my wallpaper set to just a single image per monitor. I'm using version 7.3.1 on Windows 10 Pro x64.

DisplayFusion is also running on my laptop, also with Windows 10 x64, and the application's memory is around 56MB, so it seems to be something with my main system only.

Let me know if I can do anything to help troubleshoot this!

Thanks for the help! :)

That's definitely not normal! The next time the memory is high (over 300 MB), could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?
  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button
  • Paste the text into a text file (please don't paste the text directly into your reply, the formatting gets garbled and makes it difficult to parse)
  • Reply with the file attached

Ah! You're running Bitdefender :)

Just exclude DisplayFusion.exe from everything in Bitdefender, then reboot, and you shouldn't run into this issue any more.
