Fences' Preferences experienced an error, please try again

Continually popping up even after restart. Cannot uninstall, same error.

August 9, 2025 6:27:59 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Per the title,

Currently trying to run an Object Desktop trial (used to use fences a lot, have a licence for v3 but does not seem to work on v6).

Installed fences 6, then uninstalled and installed object desktop instead - reinstalled fences through object decktop. Now i continually get an error popup for fences. Specifically System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Stardock.ApplicationServices, Version=1.10.4.128 .....

I am unable to uninstall Fences (just says its in use, and i cannot find a task to end).

 

Windows 11 24H2 (OS Build 26100.47770)

 

Unfortunately this is making my PC mostly unusable given that closing the error just causes it to re-appear.
