Weird Wallpaper behavior

I don't know what is happening with DisplayFusion lately, but on the latest beta even the Wallpaper changer is doing weird stuff:

From time to time it keeps repeatedly displaying this wallpaper in my system:

I click 'Open Wallpaper Image in File Explorer' to delete it and it opens this:

which, of course, it is NOT the correct file, at all. That image it is displaying as wallpaper does not even exist in that folder is opening.

And when I open the Wallpaper settings it displays a totally different image than the real one displayed on the desktop... 🤦

What the hell is going on?

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

It happens when the display driver crashes. It can be forced using CRU's 'restart.exe

Oh yeah that will definitely cause some weird effects, it looks like DisplayFusion can't read the monitor ID's after it's happened. If you restart DisplayFusion does that fix it up?

If I restart DisplayFusion or force it to load a new Wallpaper it does, but what I want to know it *where the hell is that particular image coming from*? why can't I locate *that* file in my computer? why does it always go back to *that* exact same image, even many weeks later?

The log shows it's loading this file after the driver crashes: Display #0:G:\GDrive\Social\Image\Nature\IBERIAN LANDSCAPES\caballos.jpg -

It can't find the correct monitor ID's after the crash though so that may be incorrect. As for the "Open image in file explorer", if you have a lot of images in the folder, the call can time out before it loads all the images, which is likely why it's highlighting the incorrect image. It's a Windows call so we don't have much control over it unfortunately.

But that is not the image it is displaying on the desktop.

None of the images of that folder are *that* image.

No, I always search the whole folder manually and *that* image is never in the opened folder.

It's baffling but I mean... that image on the desktop is not appearing out of thin air... something is reading *that* image file out of somewhere.
