[quote who="pelaird" reply="28" id="3933946"] I never turn on "Auto updates" nor let the app update itself. [/quote] Where is the option to turn off auto-update? max

Basj, I reinstalled it last night as described in your provided link. I rebooted twice. As @pelaird mentioned above I am still seeing only 3 options. I was able to create new fences from Scratch everything was fine but at one point I did notice that when you right-click on the desktop the "configure Fence" option disappeared I then reinstalled Fences without uninstalling and rebooted. When I logged in again the "configure Fence" was visib

I reinstalled and my menu looks correct but: 1) on desktop refresh icons are moved around on multiple fences some of them revert back to another fence 2) I can't create a fence on the desktop the option is missing I can share a video recording if you would like No one lease has encountered this issue with version 5.53? max <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/3/1/301025/f1838c67-0761-4c66-a53b-7e8be24dbc74.pn

Hi @pelaird and @ Basj, t hanks for the response. What do you think I should do? Is there a previous version perhaps 5.52 that I can try to install? I have been using fences for a long time and this is the first time I have encountered a problem. thanks in advance for your guidance, max

" If it's just that one Fence, try deleting it and create a new Fence from scratch." the issue is with multiple fences BTW max

Hi @Basj, Thanks I reinstalled as described by @Pelaird. then I restored from layout backup and noticed the same issue. So, it got me thinking I was able to find a backup of my layout in April applied that and functionality came back. Perhaps the backup may have been corrupted. Things appear to be working again thanks for the help max

Hi pelaird, t hanks I will do that and keep you posted. By the way, if I uninstall will I lose my fences configuration? and is there a way to back it up in case it goes sideways? thanks, max

Hi @pelaird, This is a regular desktop fence. The way I created them a long time ago is to right or left-click anywhere on the desktop and select Create Fence but that option appears to have disappeared - very strange The missing icons are placed in my "junk" fence. This is my default behavior when software is reinstalled/updated and new icons are created, I then drag to the fence I want the icon in NOTE: On my machine I went to C ontrol Pa

Dear support: I am suddenly getting a strange behavior Icons in my Fences change positions after the machine reboots or a desktop refreshes. Manual rearrangement of icons is necessary to restore the preferred location. Fences version 5.53 | OS Win 10 Fences version 5.53 | Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks in advance for any guida
