Hi - long time Stardock user of Fences here... it's frustrating that while I have multiple licenses for Fences 5, but not Object Desktop, I'm unable to use the product today on my ARM devices. I ONLY have ARM devices now (no x64). When will this be released to all Fences 5 users and not blocked at install?
That's where I'm confused. Fences had issues in years past on ARM but started working at some point (no warnings and no block on activation). This block and warning is new.
Fences 5.80 installs with no problems on Windows 24H2 (26100.1150) on my Surface Laptop 7 (ARM Snapdragon X Elite processor). I can also successfully activate it, but then it warns me that only Object Desktop subscribers can run this on ARM right now (regular Fences license release will come later?). I am licensed for the full Fences 5 product and deactivated the machine where I used to run Fences 5 on Intel. I can activate
I installed Fences 4.21 today on an ARM64 device (Lenovo X13s, running Windows 11 version 23H2 OS Build 22635.2552 - Insider Beta ring). To my surprise, Fences installs and runs with no errors now! I looked back in the forum here and in release notes and didn't see any announcement about ARM64 support. Is this a compatibility fix in Windows or did support for ARM64 make it silently into the 4.21 releases?
Windows on ARM is becoming more mainstream and I think Stardock needs to seriously consider full support for Windows on ARM for Fences. Please make it happen!
Maybe it only impacts high DPI displays?
Now that Microsoft is nearing the final release of the Creators Update (RS2), where do we stand with a Fences update? The crashing bug seems to be gone from earlier builds, but Folder Portals still do not work correctly: - The folder view always defaults to Medium Icons and they are all squished together. There's no padding/spacing between them. - Switching to a list or detail view works, but this setting doesn't persist after reboot. It goes back to the broken Medium
Running Win10 anniversary update (1607): In a multimonitor configuration (for me, SurfaceBook + external 4k display), I often see a different blurred image under my fences than the current desktop wallpaper. This seems to be the different wallpaper that is on my secondary display or a prior wallpaper (haven't figured out the pattern). If I right click the desktop and select next image, it is fixed, but eventually comes back. I've tried the 3.03 beta and still see this.
I upgraded to 8.1 Preview yesterday and so far ModernMix is working without any issues.
Fences loads fine but I cannot drag files outside of a fence after upgrading to 8.1 Preview as well.
