For a while now, Displayfusion won't show my wallpapers anymore.
No matter internet source I select (I tend to use the astronomy picture of the day for the most part), it just shows the download window 5 times in quick succession (downloading the same 2MB+ file over and over), then doesn't change my wallpaper at all. It remains black.
The wallpaper does show up in a thumbnail when I press "get settings", so I know it's actually downloading something.
When I take a look at C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\DisplayFusion\Wallpaper_2.png (or jpg), it's just a 33KB file which holds a completely black picture.
I've upgraded to 7.3 b1 this morning to see if there's a change, but it's doing the same. Except for the "applying wallpaper" window, which now takes quite a while to finish its task.
I'm running Windows 10.

Sure thing, Keith, thanks for getting back to me.

The troubleshooting info indicates that the C:\Users\kaiun\Pictures\DisplayFusion folder doesn't exist. DisplayFusion should be creating it automatically, but it must be failing for some reason. Could you try creating it manually, and also create a "Web Images" folder inside that one?

And with that, I found the problem.
I had activated the Windows "Homegroup" function a while ago. The folder was shared and seemed to have some weird security settings. My user wasn't on the list, but there was HomeGroupUsers instead. After removing the share and restarting DF, things went back to normal.
Guess we still have some things to learn (or get around of) in Windows 10.
Thanks for pointing me where to look!
Also, what's up with the vmware tools line in my log?
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\VMwareResolutionSet.exe" 0 1, 0 0 1920 1080
I admit to installing that quite a lot on the servers I work with, but I don't have those running on my (non-virtual) Windows 10 at home...
