@axtTOKQf Does this issue still persist with the latest release?

Cheers, S

Unfortunately, yes. It still works slow. It works better if I activate the desktop dimmer for only one screen even though it uses high CPU (%12, I have 2nd gen i7 2 GHz) and mouse moves slightly slow, but when I activate it for two screens (built in laptop monitor and HDMI output), the computer slows down, the CPU usage jumps to %18 and mouse can't move smoothly.

I don't have these problems with the version 3.1.2.

System specification:

i7 2630QM Intel HD Graphics 3000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 8GB ram Windows 10 Home 1709

I am experiencing the exact same issue. 3.1.2 auto-updates, so I had to uninstall.
