Need a way to restart fences

from Stardock Forums

Often comes, I come to my desktop and I can't click on anything; fences is totally frozen. I couldn't find a service to restart, I couldn't find a way to get this to let me click on the desktop. Originally I was rebooting, now I'm killing explorer.exe and restarting it, which does the trick, but windows, despite the millions of dollars in development, still doesn't handle things well. We need a way to restart a frozen fence or fences needs a way to detect when it's frozen.

 

This doesn't happen on just my PC, this happens on every PC I've used Fences on whether it's Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. You just have to give it time to happen.

At least once an hour, or so it seems, I am unable to interact with my desktop, I can still use my start menu, use all programs, do everything except interact with Fences. It simply doesn't let me click or shows a waiting icon. Waiting does nothing, I have to ctrl + alt + delete my explorer.exe and restart it for it to resume.

 

Very very annoying.

What you describe is atypical and worth contacting Support about.
