Hi,

I have been using displayfusion with Windows 7 without any issues - having dual screens and using the screensaver to show pictures from different locations on different screens. However I have now upgraded to Windows 10 and although DisplayFusion loads on start-up (icon appears on the right of the taskbar) the screensaver will not work unless I open settings within DisplayFusion then 'Save' and 'Apply' before the screensaver will work. I have to then repeat the process every time I boot my computer.

I'm currently using DisplayFusion Pro V7.2

Regards,

Ben

Before fixing the screen saver after a reboot, if you just right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon and navigate to Screen Saver > Start Screen Saver, does it start correctly?

When I right click on the icon in the system tray and select 'Start Screensaver' as suggested the screensaver does start, however once the mouse is moved and the screensaver disappears I then wait for the 1 minute before it should kick back in automatically and nothing happens.

Ok, it sounds like something is preventing Windows from going into idle mode. Could you do the following?

Open an elevated command prompt
Enter the following command: powercfg /requests > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\powercfgrequests.txt
Reply with the "powercfgrequests.txt" file attached (you'll find it on your desktop)

Thanks!

Having the identical issue here as well, but using DF Pro 7.3. The output from powercfg:

---------------------
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
None.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.
----------------------
Was working flawlessly previous to the Win10 upgrade.

@Michael: If you exit DisplayFusion and setup the screen saver through the Windows settings, does it come on?
