Reply to Fences 4/ Fences 5 in Fences Stardock Forums

Right now Stardock is promoting their brand new SASS version of the Fences brand. What this entails is a yearly subscription fee in order to use Fences with the payout that the service also comes with the next version of Fences (Fences 6) should that version be released while you have an active subscription. This version does come with a discount to people that own Fences 4. Unfortunately the standard version of Fences 5 permanent license is not currently being promoted at all and therefore S

I will also add that is a very good price for a classic subscription. Personally I wouldn't think twice about purchasing that.

[quote who="meber66" reply="8" id="3917654"] I was all over the upgrade until I saw that it was a yearly subscription. I guess Fences 4 is good enough. [/quote] This all is a hot topic for sure, I will attempt to actually give advice on it. I would put staying with Fences 4 for the duration of Windows 11 as one of my top recommendations right now. Fences 4 should always have a 100 percent compatibility on Windows 11. A permanent Fences 5 license is definitely

[quote who="c242" reply="19" id="3917307"] So, this is it (again)? Even no answer to my question? [/quote] I will give you the best answer I can. As pointed out by SimplexDesigns your issue is in fact a bug that requires an update. If your issue could be fixed without an update I am sure Neil would have chimed in already. His silence likely means it does require an update and updates are authorized by someone else (i.e. Brad) My opinion on the subject is that

Reply to Cannot Install Fences 4 - Win11 22H2 in Fences Stardock Forums

I was a bit perplexed why this changed for you with 22h2 vs 21h2 so I looked at the 22h2 changelog. My best guess here is that credential guard may be the culprit. Only the windows 11 enterprise version has this turned on by default so most Windows 11 users are not using it. If this is in fact the case you will probably always need admin rights to install stardock software as credential guard is enabled. Disclaimer, this is only a guess but I do hope it helps the developers of stardoc

Reply to Cannot Install Fences 4 - Win11 22H2 in Fences Stardock Forums

Apologies hamlinda. Let me try and explain myself a little better I believe your version of 22h2 is the November 2023 release version. To my knowledge, all Stardock software had / has full compatibility with that release version of Windows 11. Therefore I do not believe 22h2 in of itself is the culprit. Fences

Reply to Cannot Install Fences 4 - Win11 22H2 in Fences Stardock Forums

The installers themselves may still be trusted. But if new security measures have been implemented such as not allowing explorer.exe extensions to be executed that would prevent both fences and groupy from being installed. Unfortunately, I believe that this is most likely a case that your IT department may need to fix.

Reply to Cannot Install Fences 4 - Win11 22H2 in Fences Stardock Forums

If I understand you correctly? You are using a work computer that receives updates through your IT department. If so that will be a much trickier fix If it is your own personal computer, however, then I would recommend updating to 23h2

[quote who="naroon1" reply="14" id="3916909"] As you know, i was one of those who would have preferred WB 11 to be released earlier than it did so i could of stayed with SD Software, and was also one of those that said WB 11 would suffer due to the time after Win 11s release, we actually got it. I know SD did not want to ship it too soon, but even when we did get WB11 and Start 11, those "Report Issues" Topics with both, throwed up multiple issues which put me off using it, and as we are

[quote who="naroon1" reply="3" id="3916736"] Think Themes makers and Theme Patchers were much quicker than SD adopting Win 11, that is one of the reasons i moved over to Themes Carl, plus, i could still customize my Desktop the way i wanted too from almost day one with Win 11 using UltraThemePatcher .

Reply to The new Windows Team Leader in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

It definitely looks like Windows 11 has failed to have the adoption rate it wanted to have. However, I still question whether the hardware requirements such as TPM are the real culprits here. If so, Panos Panay is nothing more then a scape goat as a show for the investors. With that said, yes the start menu and taskbar definitely can be made better and should. I assumed finishing Windows 11 parts for Windows 12 always was the goal. In any case getting people to migrate away fr
