I got a new laptop, and am trying to Restore Settings that I exported in DF on my old laptop.

Oddly, the Restore seems to complete, but my Window Position profiles are not visible in DisplayFusion. Diving into the registry, I don't see any profiles under HKCU, and HKEY_USERS is unreadable since my regular user account is not a local admin.

I then opened the registry as my local admin account, and the profiles were now in HKCU. Since I was admin, I could also open my regular user in HKEY_USERS and saw there was no profile keys there. I was able to copy the profile key values into Notepad, but unable to paste all that text into new string keys I created.

Is this the way it's supposed to work? Did I miss some steps?

Have you restarted DisplayFusion since installing it? If you installed as an admin user, when you try to restore the settings, they'll restore to that user's registry, not the currently logged in one. Here are a couple of things to try:

  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Restore the settings again

If the above doesn't work, try this:

  • Exit DisplayFusion (important!)
  • Double-click the backup (.reg) file in File Explorer, choose Yes to import
  • Start DisplayFusion

Hope that helps!
