Fences have disappeared from desktop

April 22, 2022 11:43:12 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Fences were on the desktop yesterday. They are gone today. No updates to Win 11 were done. Fences is in the Startup Apps and enabled. I've tried double clicking each mouse button but nothing brings them back.

Try restoring a Snapshot that should work for you

I have tried that and it didn't work. I also tried going back to each of the 3 days. 

A restart didn't work either.

A second restart, however, did work. 

I have no idea what the problem was that required a second restart but at least I have Fences and my icons back.

I've had this problem lately now too. I am assuming (Until someone from Stardock  has a useful response) that it is because I am using Fences 3, which is the last version you could pay once for, and now Fences 5 is out, which requires a subscription. Seems like Stardock is making their old software work like shit to try to get people to subscribe to perpetual payments for no reason.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. Fences 3 full version number.
  3. Details on your issue would help us understand your issue.

Thank you.

Same issue here 

1. Windows 11 version 24H2 build 26100.4770

2. Fences Version 3.1.6.1

3. Issue:

   - All fences and their contents are not displayed on the desktop after a period of time

   - Some items are still on the desktop, so it is not that I've double clicked to hide the desktop items

   - All items ARE visible in Windows Explorer so they are just hidden witin the disapperared Fence groups

Unfortunately, Fences 3 is not compatible on Windows 11. It is best to move on to Fences 6. Do know Fences 6 does offer permanent licenses. Would like to suggest to do the 30 days free trial on Fences 6 and see if the same issue appear.

Thank you,
