Incorrect Monitor Profile Loading on System Startup

Hi,

I have only just noticed this happening within the last couple of weeks

I have multiple Montitor Profiles set up but I mainly use one called "Default"

If I have this montior profile applied and then reboot my machine, when DisplayFusion loads it won't apply the last selected profile (Default) but will instead apply whatever the last profile alphabetically I have configured

I first noticed this when I created a profile called "Politics" which had a different wallpaper profile so it was very apparent what was happening

Then when I created a profile to "Standard" this started loading on DisplayFusion startup instead of the previously selected profile such as "Default" or "Gaming" or even the randomly applied "Politics"

What's going on here?

Do I need to create a profile called "ZZ_Default" to ensure this loads each time first?

Like I said, I only noticed this behaviour recently and while it's not a deal breaker it's really annoying and certainly not expected behaviour

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

Thanks

Katy

You can create a trigger that uses the "DisplayFusion Starts" event, and loads whatever monitor profile you would like to launch on boot.

We have a guide on creating triggers here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/Triggers/

There's obviously something going on

DisplayFusion is now randomly changing the wallpaper profile for no reason, the Monitor profile issue seems to have stopped occurring though (with no changes from me)

Nothing has been changed or triggered, it just randomly decides to apply a different wallpaper profile

Would a clean install fix this?

Or is there some setting I need to check where a condition might causing this?

I have no triggers set (see screenshot)

The program is becoming so unstable it's almost unusable - it's been changing wallpaper backgrounds when recording videos which is causing me huge headaches

Could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and then click "Clear Log"
Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Reply with the file attached
Disable debug logging after sending the log

Hi,

It just happened again. I can't give the exact time as I had an application running fullscreen but it was around 07:00

I had tabbed from a fullscreen game to a browser and the wallpaper profile swapped from Gaming to Hex with no interaction on my part

The Monitor configuration remained as it was currently set (Default) so this was unchanged.

Log file attached as requested
