[Windows 10; DisplayFusion Pro 9.6.1 purchased via Steam] I have two monitors connected to a GTX1060-3GB: Dell Alienware AW3418DW 34-inch Ultrawide and Dell U2412M 24-inch. DisplayFusion has managed the setup fine, but today I tried to setup separate monitor profiles for 2 monitors and another for just the Alienware (with the Dell U2412M disabled) and assign each to a hotkey combination. I set up both profiles and switched between them within the Monitor Profiles window without issue. However, when I tried the hotkey to switch to the dual monitor profile, I got this error:

Code

An error has occurred while applying your new Monitor configuration.
Please check your settings and try again.
Error: Failed to call SetDisplayConfig. [HR: 31]
[System.Exception]


Please advise. Thanks!

Interesting! And if you re-open the Monitor Configuration window and load it from there, it works again?

[Sorry for taking so long to get back to you]
As a matter of fact, when I try to switch monitor profiles back from single monitor to dual monitor, I get the identical error from DisplayFusion:

Code

An error has occurred while applying your new Monitor configuration.
Please check your settings and try again.
Error: Failed to call SetDisplayConfig. [HR: 31]
[System.Exception]


I'd be interested in any ideas you have for a fix. Thanks!

No worries, thanks! We have an idea on what's causing the issue but we're still working on a fix for it. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we have a new test build to try out.

Thanks!

Thank you, Keith! I knew you guys would be on top of it. Let me know if you need logs.

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and this issue should be all fixed up. Could you give it a try and let us know how it goes?

Thanks!

Thanks, Keith! I bought DisplayFusion through the Steam store, so I'm not sure how to install the beta in the location where Steam keeps DisplayFusion. There doesn't seem to be an option to install a beta through the Steam interface. Please advise. Thanks!

Open up your settings panel.

As @Special mentioned, you can enable automatic beta update checks on the Settings > Options tab in DisplayFusion, or if you'd like to manually install it, you can download it at the link below. It will install over top of the current one and keep the Steam license and settings intact :)

DisplayFusion Beta

Thanks!

@Kilsgaard: If you manually configure the monitors, then save that as a new profile with Beta 5, does the new profile work?

Hi
Sorry for the late response, I have not had access to my workspace before now, due to covid :-o

Thanks for your answer, I deleted the monitor profiles and created them again, at now it seems to work perfect..

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue. SetDisplayConfig HR:31 and I was on DF 9.6.1. I've checked the "Get beta versions" and am now on DF 9.7 (Beta 19), however, when I go to Monitor Profiles and change to a certain profile, I still get the HR: 31 error.

Now, it may be a compatibility issue with a USB-C Hub. If I connect the monitor directly to my laptop using HDMI everything is fine (and was fine in 9.6.1 also), but I have a USB-C hub that I'm using as a docking station in a way so when I'm at my desk, I plug one USB-C cable in and all my peripherals are connected. Everything works, I see my display over the USB hub, but I get the 31 error when I try to switch to the profile I want.

Any ideas?

If you try to manually enable that monitor via DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration, instead of loading the profile, does it error out as well?

The monitor is enabled when I go to the Montior Configuration. Right now, I'm typing this while viewing the attached monitor, however, the splits aren't working and if I try to load the profile it gives this:

An error has occurred while applying your new Monitor configuration.
Please check your settings and try again.

I've attached the log file.

Thanks! So your profile doesn't change the monitor enabled/disabled state, or resolution, it only changes the split layout?

I think it disables the laptop screen (or maybe that's automatic). Basically, it's so I can dock my laptop when I'm at my desk to an ultrawide. When docked, I want the screen split and when running only on my laptop screen I don't want any screen split.

Ok, have you already tried re-creating the monitor profile since updating to 9.7 Beta 19?

Hi,
I am also getting this error of late, I was on the latest version and after reading this thread I have updated to the beta branch but am still having the same issue.
I have had a similer issue before but after a reformat of my PC the problem stopped, so re creating the profiles. I have not recreated them yet this time as I have to go to work soon.
I get this error message when i try and fire a profile, either from a shortcut key or via the DF menu. Changing monitors manually through windows display settings works fine. This is happening when I try and change both between seperate physical monitor profiles (one mon on/one mon off), when just changing to a profile that adds/subtracts splits on the same physical monitor or a profile that turns on a second monitor and adds splits to the already connect physical monitor.

As a side note, the dialogue box that appears with this error code, once you click confirm or close the box via the cross it reverts the monitor setup back to the previous profile even if you have already changed the display settings via windows. As one of my monitors is a TV in a seperate room this can become quite annoying if I forgot to close it first. Not the end of the world, and it may be desired by yourselves for some reason but I though I would mention it.

Thanks a lot

I've added the log as attachement

@James: Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for attaching the troubleshooting info. If you re-save one of the profiles after configuring it with the Windows settings, does it load correctly?

Is there a fix for this error? Ever since I purchased DisplayFusion, I haven't been able to get this to work. I created a monitor profile for home and one for work, and when I click Load Profile and choose one, I always get the HR: 31 error.

Thanks for sending that over. Do those profiles just switch between enabling/disabling your monitor splits?

Thanks!

I have different monitors at work than what I have at home. The monitor profiles are just meant to set the splits for the monitors. Every time I switch my work location (home to work or work to home), I have to reset the monitor splits on my secondary monitors. The settings for the primary monitor carry over from work to home and vice versa. At work, I have one external monitor for my primary and two external monitors for my secondaries. The laptop is docked at work, and I don't use the laptop screen. At home, I have one external monitor for my primary and the laptop screen for my secondary, and I don't have a dock.

Could you send me over two copies of your troubleshooting info, one with the splits configured and working, and then another after you receive the error? If you receive the error at both locations, it shouldn't matter which one you grab the files from, whichever is easier for you.

Thanks!

Thanks for sending that over, I can't see any differences between those 2 files. 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

Thanks!

So, I tried it both at work and at home, and it's working fine now. I'm not sure what changed, but all is good. Thanks for your help!

That's really strange, if the issue comes back just let us know.
