Thank you Neil
"Right clicking on an app should show the recent apps accessed in the Win11 style." - I'm not sure what this means; right clicking on an app in the Start11 start menu brings up the menu with items "Unpin; Icon; More etc".
Also on my laptop the option to add a fence to the start menu results in a small bar adjacent to the menu item and not a list of existing fences to choose from as I expected.
If the shortcut has jumplist items they appear under the menu. If they do not then there is nothing to show.
On the second issue, if you have nothing listed then you have no fences to add. Are you perhaps only using folder fences rather than the traditional fences? You can only add traditional ones.
