Desktop UI has gone psycotic with where fences get pushed and refreshed

I just installed the latest Windows 10 updates.  System is a Dell Precision, running Fences 4.0.0.3.  I've occasionally seen this problem in the past, and it's frequently cleared itself up with enough stops and starts of Fences.  I'm also running Deskscapes 11 Beta 5 (again, nothing new).

The display goes wacky.  It leaves junk all over the screen, multiple copies of the same fence (although only one of them is real).  This only seems to happen with the fences, no other apps behave this way (from my limited experimentation)

Here is sample output:

 

.

The whole screen either looks like this, or multiple copies fanned out.  The programs that are missing (such as between the two turbotax entries in the upper left are actually other icons (that aren't showing up).  Work is not a collapsed item, it actually should have stuff there.

Note, I frequently remote desktop or VNC to this server (it's in another room).  Even if not remote connected, it shows up this way.

Any thoughts?  This is my main system, and it's completely unusable.  If I disable fences, the artifacts are still left around.

Oh, and if I check for updates (in the about, and in the settings for Deskscapes), they indicate that I'm up to date.
