Latest Windows 10 update wiped all previous Fences daily backup snapshots

Windows 10 Update interferes with Fences

from Stardock Forums

Last night Windows 10 Pro was updated with the latest version. When I booted my computer, the new Win10 default screen displayed and all of my previous Fences settings, folders, organizations, etc. were gone.

After starting Fences (v 3.0.8.1), I was prompted as though this was a brand new start of Fences. I went to Layout & Snapping to restore to a previous layout backup snapshot (I have the auto snapshot feature selected) , but there were no previous backups shown, the only option was the new Win10 default version.

I never erased those previous versions, but I'd like to restore them from my backup files. What is the folder path to those snapshots?

I rolled back the Win10 v1803 update successfully, and when I restarted under that former version (1709) all of my Fences settings returned, including the saved snapshots.

Somebody else suggested the new 1803 update could have created a new profile for me and was opening in that profile, hence none of "my" settings were configured.

Dontcha just love Microsoft's testing?

Happy again :)
