Fences 3 on Windows 11

Stuck in Loop

Fences 3 on Windows 11 is stuck in a loop and will not let me refresh Fences. I also tried to start Fences from the Start Menu and was unable to start Fences again. The little window that came up with the error told me to right-click on the desktop and click on refresh. The loop time is so short it ill not let me right-click on the desktop.

Forgot to mention that before the Fences 3.1.3.3 loop, File Explorer did not close correctly.

Windows 11 was stuck in a loop and a message (small Window, It told me to right-click to restart Fences, but could not because of the loop) from Fences told me that fences was disabled and I could not download your bat file to purge Fences. I had to re-image the laptop. Even the repair option on Windows 11 would not repair the problem. I tried to repair the OS from an USB flash drive. with a Windows 11 ISO image and tried to run sfc /scannow from a command prompt in admin mode.

The re-image new OS worked and I downloaded and installed Fences 3, WindowBlinds, SkinStudio and Start 11.

Thanks for your help!

I found out that the problem was not Fences 3. The same problem (loop with message Fences has been disabled. Right click on Desktop to restart Fences) happened on my Lenovo 2-in1 laptop. The loop ran for 9 times and I looked and saw that the File Explorer windows that came up was skewed. Tat tells me that the problem was WindowBlinds 10. The problem only happens on Windows 11 and WindowBlinds 10. I had WindowBlinds 10 set to use Precision.

My 2-in-1 laptop has Windows 11 Pro build 2200.194. Version 21H2. Intel Processor I7-8565U. I have uninstalled WindowBlinds 10 on all computers with Windows 11 Pro. I still use WindowBlinds 10 on my Windows 10 Pro computer.

Sorry for the error in my judgement.

Thanks for your help.

WindowBlinds 10 is not compatible with Windows 11 and must not be used on that OS.

As you have found, doing so will cause explorer to crash whenever an explorer window is opened.
