Hi

I know this has been posted before, but the last one was some time ago, and I'm using a different (newer) version. A couple weeks ago I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 (64-bit). All good. And I like the new functionality in Win10. Great.

Except, the DisplayFusion Hook App (32 bit) constantly uses about 14% of my CPU. It's a Intel i7 965E, so 14% is some significant flops! I'm running version 7.3.1., and 4 monitors, but most features are set pretty conservatively. I've attached my troubleshooting log, and look forward to any help or suggestions you can offer.

Thx
D

Would you be able to attach a debug log as well?
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks!

Not sure if this is related or not, but I also seem to get high CPU usage from Displayfusion, only mine is intermittent...

about 5x per minute or so "Displayfusion" & "Displayfusion Settings" Jump up to 10-20% CPU usage on my i5 3570K@4.6GHz. This is while the system is sitting completely idle. It's been doing this through many versions now(pretty much since I got the program) & while not a huge concern, it does seem to effect performance under high stress situations.

I took a screenshot using Gyazo for reference:

I've also attached my logs below.

Your troubleshooting info indicates that the wallpaper is set to change at 45 seconds and 60 seconds for monitors 1 and 2. That'd definitely be whats generating the CPU activity :)

It takes that much CPU just to change my wallpaper? WOW! :o

Thanks, I'll have to change that, I had no idea it took THAT much CPU, & expected maybe 3-5% at most! >.<

Yeah, the .NET image library isn't the most efficient, and at the moment it's not really feasible to use a different image library :(

Hi, you can also tweak certain windows settings to lower down overall windows 10 CPU usage. Here are a few tips.

Adjust system for best performance
Step 1: – Search view advanced system settings in start menu search box.
Step 2: – Now, click on view advanced system settings.
Step 3: – Now, choose adjust for best performance. Finally choose apply and then click ok. Finally restart your PC.

Disable Background apps running on windows 10
Go to Settings -> Privacy -> Background apps and turn all of them off.

Update Outdated drivers
Sometimes this may also be the cause
