This large, ever-increasing number of these instances has been happening intermittently for several weeks now. I leave my PC on 24/7 and the longer it runs, the more instances accumulate, *sometimes*. Other times, I might have one instance show up, usually momentarily, then close. I'm guessing it might be a particular app that is invoking this "help" when it is running, but I don't which one, nor how to stop it. To my knowledge I've been running the same apps for months and months and this problem seems to have started in the version 9.9+ and onward releases. Any ideas?
Windows version 22H2 22621.1778
DisplayFusion 10.1 Beta 4

Thanks for the reply. No, nothing is selected. Screenshot attached. Now I have used Display Fusion for many years, perhaps something is left over from old versions?

Sure, here are the two files.

I think I missed this file, the troubleshooting zip. here it is.

I've disabled the "Allow DisplayFusion to manage..." option, must I also disable the "Use the current Desktop Wallpaper ..." option, which I'd like to keep? It can take days before this problem crops up, so I'll reply if/when it still happens. Y'know, it seems to tend to happen overnight when it happens, I wonder if it is happening when Windows does an overnight update; maybe that trips up with the Lock Screen feature when it reloads...

So far it hasn't recurred, but I'll have to monitor for another week to be sure. I'll hadn't noticed other duplicated processes (certainly not in such a high number) but I'll watch for that too. Helpful to know the lock screen is the feature likely involved. Thanks.
