My AV is going nuts and every time and restart or displayfusion my AV is flagging my ProgramData folder because of these damn Hooks you keep making. https://i.imgur.com/sa4ZqBb.png
WHY IS THERE HOOKS IN PROGRAMDATA WHEN THEY ARE ALSO IN THE C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\Hooks FOLDER?
Like always I updated through the settings pannel and now have no way of going back, thanks so much for testing your releases.

Great I just remembered that I'm using the Steam version and when I use a non Steam installer my license gets overwritten, thanks for the headache I know this will cause.
The Steam version is still on 9.1, if you re-install through Steam, it will have your license and you should be up and running.
What anti-virus are you running? We haven't had trouble here, and we ran betas for a week without any reports of issues like this.
Also, are those folders in AppData\Roaming? The reason they're copied from Program Files to AppData is because sometimes Windows won't fully release the locks on them when updating, so to prevent having to reboot on every update, we make a unique running copy. That way the ones that need to be updated by the installer will never be locked.
I'm not 100% sure why it's creating more than one folder though, I haven't seen that happen. I will check in with the devs on that one for sure.

I use Comodo Firewall with HIPS, I was able to override the Hook location from AppData\Roaming to the one in Program (86x) through advance settings and that stopped the folders from being created in "AppData\Roaming" and shut my AV up for the time being.
Why this is happening I don't know, I've never had any issues before this update, was rebooting the PC once in a blue moon such a big deal?
And I noticed in my fist post I said "ProgramData" I mean't "AppData\Roaming"
On the upside it looks like DisplayFusion Service Memory is down quite a bit, used to hover around 53MB it's now 17.5MB.

I just want to say I fixed this by closing DF and stopping the Service, deleting all the Hooks in the install folder (there was a lot of them, I'm guessing from past versions that didn't get cleaned up.).
I then installed 9.2.4 in Sandboxie, and removed the two Hook files from that and placed them in "my" install location that I had deleted, then started up DF again.
After a reboot, all seems good. I guess this issue is solved.
