This is what your POS Fences does to me all the time!

It is garbage software

January 7, 2023 11:43:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I will never buy another Stardock product again! I have two monitors in Windows 10.  I am constantly fixing what your crappy software does every single day and sometime more than that!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues and sorry to hear your feel that way. If you wish we can try to help you workout your issue. But, we need more details on your issues. Do know, there are thousand including myself that are running Fences 4 on Windows 10 without issue.

Thank you.
Basj,

Hi,

I have been using Fences and all of Stardock's other products for many years.

All of a sudden, I have a hundred or more icons scattered all around both monitors that used to be in Fences.  I did not do a thing.  And, I have had a couple of Fences that have disappeared forever.

It has taken me a half-hour of work so far to reorganize my desktop and put icons back where they belong and I probably have at least another half hour worth of work yet to do.

Have you tried restoring a snapshot?

Did you by any chance have OneDrive Desktop Sync turn on?

Thank you,

Forgot about that!  Do you know after I get everything back into their fences, is there some feature like a "restore point" where I can save everything after that and then restore it?  Name it something obvious?

Right now, I am afraid to try to go back to a previous snapshot and lose the progress that I have made today.

Thanks!

Not that I know about.  I don't use OneDrive.  I will have to check.  Can't remember where though.

Oh - just looked it up.  Sync settings is on!  Just turned it off.

Let's see if that is what is messing things up!

Thanks!

Please use the snapshot layout function and save your layout manually. There is automatically layout snapshot save function which will be saved up to 3 days.

Thank you,

Listen to me now.  Fences does NOT work with two monitors.  After three hours trying to reorganize what Fences did to me, I am NOT even close to getting back to normal.

This software has caused me more pain than anything else I have ever used in my life!!

And, don't get me started on Groupy!!

Thanks for your help, but I need to uninstall all Stardock software from my PC and start all over again.

Sorry to hear that. But Fences does work on multiple monitors. I do run it on my 2 monitors without issue. Do let us know if you still wish to continue.

Thank you,

Thank you Basj.

Just took one today after almost getting my desktops in order.

Hope it works the next time this happens.

Did you perhaps reply on the wrong thread?

I thought he was mad at me, so I checked the whole thread and came up with the same decision you did

sorry for confusion, ie., failure to quote.
I was reacting/referring to post by Basj, Jan 8, stating (in part):

If you're experiencing a problem, please describe it and include your OS version, and the Stardock software that's giving you the problem, and its version number. You can include screenshots or a video to help show it.
