Could you attach the contents of the settings.conf or settings.json file in the same folder as the log file? Feel free to redact location info from them.

To work around the issue, you can delete the settings file to reset WDD settings and relaunch WDD.

where is this file located?

[familypc123]

there is no folder windynamicdesktop where the app is saying that there is.

From the Windows start menu, can you right click on WinDynamicDesktop and select Open file location?

I have the same issue "Index was outside the bounds of the array."

WDD version: 5.1.0 From Microsoft Store: No

I tried the steps you mentioned but did not help, I also tried to insert ["Windows_10"] into activeTheme key as someone has suggested, didn't help too.

Happened right after choosing timezone. When I try to select another theme, this error pops up and there is only Windows theme named as "None".

My current Windows version is - 21H2, build 19044.2006

Config file looks like this:

{ "locationMode": 1, "location": null, "latitude": null, "longitude": null, "sunriseTime": null, "sunsetTime": null, "sunriseSunsetDuration": 0, "activeThemes": null, "darkMode": false, "changeLockScreen": false, "enableShuffle": false, "lastShuffleDate": null, "shuffleHistory": null, "favoriteThemes": null, "language": "en", "autoUpdateCheck": true, "lastUpdateCheckTime": "09/17/2022 19:24:11", "hideTrayIcon": false, "fullScreenPause": false, "enableScripts": false, "debugLogging": false }

Error:

@Jaxsss Since the error message mentions GetDisplayNames, this error seems related to the number of displays you have connected and some of them not being detected correctly. How many screens/monitors do you have?

[Jaxsss]

I have 3 monitors. All of them are detected in Windows Settings and also in NVIDIA Control Panel, I do have all three of them connected to graphics card.

Closing since the original issue has gone stale and the other issue (IndexOutOfRangeException) is tracked in #498
