0.4 Giving me issues with Windows 10, Clicking lag and desktop icons unresponsive.

from Stardock Forums

From yesterday i updated to fences 3.04 from 3.03 that did never give me problems like this.

now i had to uninstall it because 3.04 version cause immense lag on desktop and makes it unusuable + higher than normal CPU usage (i have an i5 7600).

i would like to revert to 3.03 but i cannot find a way to do it and now my desktop without fences is horrible, please help me!

note that im using the last windows version BEFORE creators update.

If you are using an Intel graphics card the issue may be with it's entry in the right-click menu.

If you are comfortable with tweaking the registry you can download the following, unzip it, and double-click and it will disable that entry and should resolve the issue.

(it changes the entry from {9B5F5829-A529-4B12-814A-E81BCB8D93FC} to -{9B5F5829-A529-4B12-814A-E81BCB8D93FC} so restoration is easy)

issue is not solved, i used the registry modification but i still have lag on desktop, tho i notice that the desktop has gained a little bit of speed.

My PC specs are those, in case they may help.

I5 7600

GTX 1060 6GB

8GB RAM

Windows 10 Pro

 

Fences usually ran on my graphics card but after the update it doesn't show up anymore. http://i.imgur.com/VSZlTOQ.png

That fixed it, thank you!

Edit: Still having the lag issue, i uninstaller and deleted all fences files and registry keys to do a fresh install but that did not help. I did not have any issue before upgrading to 3.04 and it looks like downgrading doesn't fix anything.

For the first few minutes i tought it was fixed because it was smoother but it became laggy again shortly after.
