Hi,

I have been using both DisplayFusion and Wallpaper Engine for years now. I formatted my computer a few days and installed Windows 11 for the first time. Before, I was using Windows 10. DisplayFusion and Wallpaper Engine were running at the same time with no issues. I currently use 3 monitors.

However, since I installed Windows 11, I now get this weird screen flicker once every like 30 seconds to a minute. This happens on all screens that are showing my desktop. It seems to be the wallpaper itself glitching out because if I have, for example, chrome open on all monitors, this won't happen or at least isn't visible.

If I close DisplayFusion and let Wallpaper Engine run, it stops happening. However, if I close Wallpaper Engine and leave DisplayFusion running, it also stops. Everytime both are running, I cannot get this to stop. I've messed around the settings with both programs and I cannot get it to stop. I have to close one of the programs when using my PC as the flicker is very annoying and I cannot focus getting screen flashes every few seconds.

It seems that both programs are interacting somehow and causing a wallpaper glitch. DisplayFusion isn't set to control my wallpaper or screen saver. Any suggestions on why this might be happening? It was working fine on Windows 10, I've using both programs for years now.

Thanks.

I will also add that at first, I was using v11. I then updated to the latest beta version in hopes that it would be fixed, but I'm still having this issue on b4.

Regards.

After some more tweaking I realized that this stops happening if I turn off Multi-Monitor Taskbars in DisplayFusion, which concludes this is related to this function.

However, this is not a good solution as this is the main reason I use DF, to have a taskbar on each monitor with shortcuts and tray icons. Perhaps there is something in the advanced settings I can change to fix this or a simple hotfix can be released, as this wasn't happening in W10 with taskbars enabled?

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

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • 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

Thank you for the answer. I have attached the logs. By noting down when the issue occured, I realized it happens once every 60 seconds exactly.

Right before exporting the logs, I saw it happen at: 15:06:23, 15:07:23, 15:08:23, 15:09:23 (24 hour clock)

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks for sending that over. If you disable tray icons on your DisplayFusion taskbars, does that fix it up?

Hi. It seems that it does. Wallpaper no longer flickers when tray icons are disabled on DisplayFusion taskbars.

However, this defeats the purpose of using DisplayFusion taskbars for me as this is one of the main features I use it for as it is very convient to have tray icons on all monitors. Is there anything else that can be done?

Okay interesting, we have a similar issue on our list to look into. We'll let you know if we have any news on this going forward.

Thanks!

Alright. Please provide an update if you find a workaround in the meantime as it's not worth using DisplayFusion taskbars without tray icons in Windows 11 since you can use the Windows ones.
