After a re-boot the desktop background is black

October 16, 2021 5:18:34 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

After a reboot, the desktop background is black, not the bluish background that is was before. The fences are all there, but they also have the black background. Perhaps this is a Windows desktop configutation issue?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not really sure on your issue. Need more information.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? and what version numbers you're on? You can use Windows "Winver.exe" to get Windows version numbers.
  2. What Stardock Software you're referring to and what version is this software?
  3. You're rebooting after installing? or upgrading software or driver?
  4. Any other information that might be relevant to your issue.

Thanks
Basj,

Windows 10 version 2004 (OS Build 19041.1237.
Fences version 3.1.3.3

The reason for the re-boot is not related to Fences. I mention it  as a potential clue to what might be happening.

Thanks for your reply.

Any reason you're not updating to latest Windows 10 version? Fences V3.1.3.x is best running with latest Windows version.

Thank you,

@BasjAny reason you're not updating to latest Windows 10 version? Fences V3.1.3.x is best running with latest Windows version.

I schedule an update about once a month, or sooner if Windows Update settings nags me. It hasn't been near a month, but I went ahead and did an update this morning at 3:15am. Now I'm running Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.1288). 

Same result.

Thanks. Cellistphil.

@Basj I did some searches on answers.microsoft and found that Themes and Related settings controls the background color of the screen (among other things), regardless of the version of Windows 10. Apparently Fences has nothing to do with the background color.
