I cannot Create,Move,click on the fances

from Stardock Forums

Hello

I using Win10 and just got fences 3 baceuse on win7 fences2 was great.

My problem is that after installation i cannot create,move,or sometimes see any  of fences just arranged icons but i can click on  the old invisible icons on my desktop that are hidden.

When you rectangle select in windows there is no small context menu to create any fences

I cannot move or resize any default fences on screen.

 

I did the purge fences twice, reinstalled it many times and non of it solved it.

I searched the forum for the solution but didn't find any that works for me.

Sir Google too didn't give me a solution to.

Any advice or solution ?

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you try to unlock the Fences?

Yes i did and it didn't help

Do any Windows settings can cause this issue ?

@ED

After restarting Explorer Fences are showing just for a second then disappear.

Quick Hide isn't enabled

Can you try the cleanboot steps suggested here : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#cleanboot

This is to see if some application is having a conflict with Fences.

Try it and report back.

Thank you,

As far as I know, that only true when you lock fences. You sure you have unlock it? A video capture on your problem might give us more information on your problem. Try to make a video grab of the problem and post it here.

Thank you,

Hmm,

I was waiting to see if you locked or not your fences. But you pass through that part very fast.

Manage to get a screen grab of it. It shows that you have your fences locked. Please unlock it.

Thank you,

I did it with this option check and un-check many times before and it didn't do anything.

But when you mark a rectangle on the screen there should be an option to create a fence or a folder.

Anyway it wont be an issue with app i assume it works for others, i will try to change some setting in my system and i will see.

If i will fix this i will post a solution here for others.

szymonm987,  I have the same problem since June 2018 (but on Win 7 x64) and still have no solution to that. 

So, in case you manage to get the solution, please, post it here!

Tnx and good luck!

I thought I would add my two cents here. I've had this problem with Fences Pro 3 (version 3.0.9.11) since I installed Windows 10. I don't know how to fix this issue permanently, but have found a quick temp fix. Maybe the Devs will be able to use this info to resolve the issue? When I try to move or delete an icon in a fence, I get a popup error. Sometimes it mentioned rundll32 being the problem. So I go to Task Manager/Details and End the rundll32 Task. Then I am able to do what ever I want with Fences.

I've done every other possible thing I could think of including lock/unlock, and nothing else helped at all. Only the rundll32 thing worked.

Check that out and see if you have the same results.

I have fences v3.09.11 installed on a Windows 10, 64 bit, Build 17134.590.

Unable to resize my fences.

When I right click the the desktop, no option to unlock fences.

Not sure how to get the fence unlock disabled.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Try the purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling

Make sure to re-download the latest installer from your account. And reboot after the reinstall.

I downloaded version 3.09 of Fences setup EXE and ran the EXE as administrator.  Rebooted my Windows 10 and my unlock issue is resolved.

Thanks!
