Where Does DisplayFusion Store Settings?
DisplayFusion keeps settings in the registry with official export and auto backup flows to .reg files.
Last updated
DisplayFusion centralizes in the registry like classic Windows shareware. Every monitor profile, wallpaper setting, and hotkey lives under its HKCU key, editable through the app rather than regedit.
Migration flows through Export and Restore buttons producing .reg files, plus automatic backups to Documents. Command line flags trigger the same backup headlessly for scripted fleets. Direct registry edits work but void the safety net.
Where DisplayFusion stores this, by platform
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion
All settings live here. Migrate with the Export and Restore buttons rather than copying keys by hand.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\DisplayFusion Backups
Automatic .reg backups land here by default. Override the path in advanced settings when Documents syncs elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate to a new PC?
Click Export Settings for a .reg backup, then Restore on the new machine. The button beats manual registry copies by handling the exact keys. Auto backups also land in Documents periodically.
Where do auto backups go?
Override the backup path in advanced settings when Documents syncs to cloud storage or fills up. Auto backups otherwise accumulate in DisplayFusion Backups by default. Disable them only deliberately.
