I do not see my fences when hitting the ALT key. No effect whatsoever.

The only key based rules I see in Fences is in the Pages settings, I don't use Pages, so I can't help.

I never got Pages to work correctly on multiple monitors.

Thank you for the reply.

I am using Windows 7 Professional and Windows 10 Professional.

 

I went to the Desktop Pages

Additional settings and cleared the check mark by:

If hidden, unhide my desktop icons when switching Pages.         This seem to do the trick.

By the way I too am using dual monitors.

Oops:

The alternate key does bring up the hidden fences when on the desktop, but not when another window is open.

I guess I will have to do more searching.

The solution is on the alt key issue is:

 

If the ALT key brings up the fences when on the desktop and one wants to disable this behavior is to do an ALT + Tab. This will disable the ALT key from bringing up the Fences and likewise hitting the ALT + TAB again will re-enable  the alt key .
