Windows 10, Multiple Monitors Confuses Fences 2.12

Return from monitor sleep causes Fences to span across multiple monitors

from Stardock Forums

Using Windows 10, with 3 monitors. Fences (v 2.12) are configured only on my primary monitor.

Upon returning from a monitor sleep or a screen saver cycle, I log back in and my groups of fences frequently appear partially shifted and span both my primary and one of the other monitors. Recent automatic or manual snapshots fail to restore fences. Sometimes I am able to use much older stored layouts (created when I had 4 monitors) to restore my fences positions. 

Additionally, setting up Fences on more than one monitor causes seems to confuse fences when returning from a monitor sleep cycle (more than 30 seconds of sleep time). I did not have this problem with Windows 8.1. 

My primary monitor is a Dell 2715Q 3840 x 2160 and my two other monitors are ASUS P248 with 1920x1200 resolution. 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

fences

I use Fences 2.13 and triple monitors with zero problems. I use screensavers, but I do not let my PC sleep. It's either on, or off.

Windows 10 and 8.1.  Just saying. Maybe you have other conflicting applications?

 

EDIT:

I misspoke, I use the Fences3 beta. Sorry.

 

But when I did use 2.13 on Win10, I had no problems.

Even with 2.13, the problem of fences spanning across multiple after a restart persists. all monitors are connected by displayport.

Just updated to Windows 10 and Fences 2.13. I have fences spread across 2 monitors. On startup all the fences shift to the primary monitor.

The new Windows 10 translucency feature also doesn't work with non-primary monitors in a multi-monitor situation.  Those Fences remain opaque while the ones on the Primary monitor work as advertised.

After uninstalling fences 2.12 and installing Fences 2.13, the fences are working as expected.
