Windows Updated on 4/27 and now Fences is gone from my desktop.

from Stardock Forums

Anyone else had this happen?  Came home from work, my computer rebooted itself and now all my fences are gone.  Pissed doesn't begin to describe it.  If this type of thing is going to happen on Windows 10 I might reformat my PC and go back to 8.

Just out of curiosity, have you double-clicked on the desktop?

Which version of Fences do you have?

The current version of Fences is completely compatible with W10...

So, do what Hankers suggested, and if that doesn't work, look here: http://www.howtogeek.com/219782/is-windows-10-backwards-compatible-with-your-existing-software/

If this doesn't help, you can certainly ask Support... https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit

I have to right click on my desktop every morning to make my fences reappear after boot up. Everything works except that I cannot move any fences or resize them.

Something is wonky about it.  This morning I was notified by Fences that it needed to be activated even though i activated it when I first installed it ages and ages ago.
