I've also noticed that "Display Settings" do not really keep display settings and which display is the Primary and the positioning/alignment of display 1, 2, 3, 4 in it's preferred order. For instance, if reinstalling GPU drivers the displays with reset themselves to the native resolution, and in my case I'm using DSR resolutions and dual GPU's 4x displays, which I'll then use DF monitor settings to revert back to the previous state. Display fusion does not recall the position/alignment or which display is the primary. I'd have to change the primary display within the driver UI settings and then rearrange the position/alignment of the displays... THEN go back to DF monitor settings and apply the saved profile.
To clarify the issue, after updating your drivers, you're not able to apply the monitor profile that has the DSR resolutions set? Does it fail with an error? Or does stuff just not get restored to the correct settings?
When updating the drivers the default monitor switches the primary display to a VGA port, rather than my primary DVI display. I suspect this is driver related, however, when I enable the DSR values then navigate to the DF monitor profiles and set my profile it does not change the layout and primary monitor settings. The layout ends up being very sparse.
Ok, interesting! If you just manually try to set the Primary monitor or adjust a monitor's position in the DisplayFusion Monitor Config window after enabling DSR, do the changes stick after you click Apply?

It had not. I ended up using nvidia control panel.
Ok, what about the Windows display settings? If you just enable DSR, then try to set the resolution or primary monitor with the Windows display settings, does it work?
I have NVIDIA GTX 960 with 3 connected monitors one of which is primary. I also have a 4th monitor connected to the Motherboard's on-board video. I'm not using DSR to my knowledge.
After the driver update I did today, when I switched profile everything was all over the place. Monitor's at incorrect resolutions, a split moved from one monitor to another, quite a mess.
It turned out that the monitors were now numbered differently in display fusion. Prior to the driver update the on-board connected monitor was #4, after the update it became #1.
What I don't know is if this re-numbering is a permanent feature or if it will revert back at the next reboot or driver update.
I have similar problem with DisplayFusion, but for me this is game stopper, literally. I cannot play my game in fullscreen when I set DSR to higher resolution than FULL HD (TV native). The game (Bulletstorm Full Clip) just minimizes to taskbar after launching it and when I open the minimized window it minimizes again.
Also other program windows are shifted from one monitor to another and I need to rearrange them again. This is only when DisplayFusion is running and game uses DSR higher that native resolution in fullscreen mode.
When I exit DisplayFusion game runs just fine.
I have 2 monitors + TV and two monitor profiles. DisplayFusion Pro 8.1.2 on Steam (current latest), Windows 10.
@Vlady: That might be due to the DisplayFusion taskbar reloading when the resolution changes. If you disable the DisplayFusion Multi-Monitor Taskbar before launching the game, does this still happen?
Ok, great! Instead of manually disabling it each time, you should be able to add a Compatibility rule for your game (Settings > Compatibility) that disables the taskbar when it launches. You can add multiple games to the same rule like so:
*game1.exe|*game2.exe|*game3.exe
Or if your games are all in the same folder, you can do something like this C:\Games\*
I used Multi-Monitor Taskbar under Win 7, but now I'm on Windows 10 I use the built in windows feature that displays the taskbar on all monitors. VLady you could also try that.
Hey, I also end up using built in Windows 10 taskbar on all monitors. There seems to be no need for this feature in DisplayFusion on Windows 10 anymore. Built in W10 taskbar works without problems but maybe some like me don't realize this is possible in W10 natively.
