Hi,
I have a problem with freezing on Windows 11 (fresh install) with Steam version of DisplayFusion. Few seconds after booting Windows up the whole computer is unresponsive (mouse and keyboard are not working) and after a few seconds everything is going back to normal. The problem is gone when I unistall DisplayFusion. Reverting DisplayFusion to default settings didint solve the problem.
Is there an known issue with booting DisplayFusion on Windows 11? On Windows 10 everything is fine - no freezes.
Did enyone had similiar issue?
Yes, it's still there.
Like I mentioned before, same configuration works on the same machine but on Windows 10. The only difference is that Windows 11 is booting from m.2 drive and Windows 10 is on sata3 drive.
update:
I did some more testing and it looks like a first boot of DF is causing the freeze. If I disable autostart of DF and boot it manually the freeze is there.
Maybe this is some lead but Win11 isn't activated, so it's missing some of the theme features. I'll activate it if I 'll be certain that DF will work on Win11 just as good as on Win10
That shouldn't really make a difference. We do have some big improvements coming to the startup performance for the next beta, so hopefully that will sort out the issues on your machine. We'll follow-up as soon as it's available.
Looks like the problem is connected to the latest nvidia drivers (546.29). Reverting to previous version (536.67) stopped the freezing while booting DF.
Hope it's get sorted by whomever is the at fault here
Wow, that's an interesting one! I haven't run into that here but we'll see if we can reproduce it with the latest drivers. If we can, we'll look into it further.
We've got a test build of DisplayFusion 11 Beta 1 that we're not quite ready to release to everyone through the auto-updater, but thought you might like to try out as it may resolve the issue you reported. This beta has some very big behind the scenes changes that will improve performance, speed up startup times, re-organizes the main settings window, and adds real time settings changes. We've done a lot of internal testing, but be prepared for a few bugs. We'll collect feedback over the holidays and review it all in January.
Please take a backup of your settings (Settings > Options > Export) before updating and store them outside of the default folder. If you need to roll back to 10.1.2, you can download it at https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/ and install it over top of the beta.
Thanks. I tried it and as soon as I installed the newest nvidia (546.33) drivers the freeze while booting up DF came back. When I went back to previous version of nvidia drivers (536.67) the freezing was again gone.
I wonder if anyone with the newest nvidia drivers has the same issue.
Just a quick update on this, we've been trying to reproduce the issue without success. Are you all still running into this with the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers?
Hi, sorry for the late response.
I just tried the newest drivers available (552.44) and the issue is still present. Reverting to 536.67 removes the freeze
@carl38: I can't seem to reproduce this issue here on an RTX 4070 with the latest NVIDIA drivers. If you disable any of the DisplayFusion features, like multi-monitor taskbars, then re-test, does it still happen?
I am trying the Beta (June) now (July) as I have had the Windows 11 freezing problem several times a week the last few months. I associated it with a) a Windows 2H2 or whatever it's called update back then, and more recently with b) if, rarely, Windows recovers itself it never restarts Display Fusion. I use a Monitor Profile with six virtual windows on one ultra-wide HP monitor. I also noticed tha Windows would display a stop close window at least twice in different virtual windows. Hope that helps. Hope the beta helps. Have tried other stuff too o_O
yes to both your questions re beta display fusion and latest nvidea drivers. am running now with display fusion not loaded to see if the problem repeats.
Ok, and it only happens on Windows startup? If you disable DisplayFusion from startup and then manually launch it, does it still happen?
my windows was still freezing at the time of your question
but 2 weeks later, the last few days not seeing the issue
it is possible this windows update [2024-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5041585)] may have fixed it
crossing fingers
