When you've created multiple wallpaper profiles, you can associate them with monitor profiles, but you can also schedule times/events for their application. Follow the directions here to schedule your wallpaper profiles.
For best use of this option, two or more Wallpaper Profiles are needed.
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon and click "Desktop Wallpaper." You can also access this via the Options tab in Settings.
    Desktop Wallpaper Menu
  • Click the Wallpaper Profile dropdown.
    Wallpaper Profiles
  • If you have two or more Wallpaper Profiles, continue to the directions below. Otherwise, create additional profiles before continuing.
  • On your computer, open the Windows Task Scheduler.
    Open Task Scheduler
  • Click "Task Scheduler Library" in the left pane, then "Create Basic Task..." in the right pane.
    Import Task
  • In the wizard, enter a name for the task (For example: "DisplayFusion - Load Profile - Work"), then click "Next."
    Name Task
  • Select when you want the task to run, then click "Next." (For example: If you want to load the Sunrise profile every morning, choose "Daily.")
    Trigger
  • Choose the time you want the task to run, then click "Next." (For example: 8:40AM)
    Other options will alter or remove this step.

I tried this method with the settings > windows logon > "Use the current Desktop Wallpaper image for the Logon Background" checkbox checked. It does not update.

@Garrett: I was able to reproduce that here and have added it to our list to fix up. Thanks!

Using Windows 11 Version 10.0.22621
This does not work here. The task scheduler gives me error code 0x800702E4 (needs elevation)
However I'm doing this from my admin account, and the box "Run with highest privileges" is also ticked.
Tried to run the scheduler with admin rights, did not work either. Any help?

E: Sorry, dumb mistake! Used the DisplayFusion.exe instead of DisplayFusionCommand.exe
Works perfectly now.
