Icons failing to install when starting windows 10

When I start Windows 10 the desktop icons and fences fail to materialise until I right click the mouse button?

If I uninstall fences the desktop icons install with no problem?

Does anybody know how to fix this?

It sounds like Fences is starting with the auto-hide feature active.  Double clicking the Desktop toggles that feature on/off.

Also check the Quick-hide settings in the Fences configuration.

Thanks for the quick replies.

However the quick hide feature was not enabled. I have played with this feature but it has not helped?

It is as if fences is stopping windows 10 from completing its start up? It will sit with no icons on the desktop until the right mouse button has been clicked?

i.e. the right mouse button only and not the left or double clicking the left mouse button?

Am I the only one experiencing this??

I'm having the exact same problem on my Win10 Dell M6600 laptop - no icons until I right-click.  This only happens with a normal user account.  If I log on with the Admin account this problem doesn't occur.

In addition, with the standard user account, every 10 minutes or so there is a pop-up asking if I want to allow Fences to make changes to my system.  Regardless of how many times I enter the Admin password, this pop-up continues to nag me - every 10 minutes or so.

I thought Fences v.3.01 was compatible with Win10?  I did not have this issue with Win7.

 

Is there a solution to these two issues?
