Fences has detected that explorer was not closed properly

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system:

1. Is the system Corporate Environment?
2. Do you have Forcepoint/Websence installed?
3. Windows version, please use Windows's Winver.exe to get Full Windows version numbers.
4. Fences version installed.

Thanks

I just rec'd the same message.  I am not in a corporate environment.   Upon starting my PC I rec'd a message that Fences needed to install an update. Since that time I am getting the message described above. I disabled my antivirus (BitDefender) and this did not fix the issue. 

I do not have forcepoint or Websense installed

Winver reports Windows 10 21H1  OS Build 19043.1110

Fences 3.0.15

I also have same problem. What is the fix??

I also have same problem. What is the fix??

I have the same problem after upgrade to current version. Need resolution

same problem for me, the update crashes the roll up folders.

windows Home,

21H1 OS build 19043.110.

Can the Update be Reversed?

Same problem with Fences 3 update...says Explorer wasn't closed properly (it was), then right click desktop and enable fences...this goes on endlessly...had to completely revert my computer to get rid of it...

Poor coding.

Purge and re install worked somewhat partially, but I still ended up just doing a system restore to get back to my early version.

I also have same problem. What is the fix??

Win 10 Pro - Ver 10.0.19042 Built 19042

update to Windows 10, version 20H2 7/15/2021

Hello,

I also have the same problem with Fences V3.1 update. 

Workaround - until fix ? - that worked on my computer Win Pro 21H1 : I recovered the system with a windows system restore toward the last restore point before the update to end up with the 3.0.9.11 version of fence that was previously installed.

Have encountered same problem after installing update to Fences v-3.1.0.5

 Window appears saying:

     Fences has detected that Explorer was not closed properly.

     As a precaution, Fences has been temporarily disabled.

     To re-enable Fences, right click your desktop and choose ‘Enable Fences’.

 Have tried to re-enable Fences as instructed, but no success.

 My system is:

      Dell Lattitude in home (non-corporate) environment.

     Win10 Pro - version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1110).

     Neither Forcepoint nor Websence are installed.

I'm having the same problem. Not in a corporate environment. Using Windows 10. I went back to Fences 3.09 until I hear of a fix. Life is too short. Thanks.

I have same problem, can I go back to previous version?

Same issue for me... Can I go back to what works please????

This Works until they fix it: Link deleted

Please do not download Fences from 3rd party. You should be able to download directly from the link I posted above.

I have same issue.  I paid $20 to upgrade to the whole suite, and still no luck. 

Win10 Pro current version.  Running Norton, if that is relevant.

Please inform this thread when you get it fixed. 

I have to revert to previous version; I have work to do.

Reverted to previous version and all is well (whew!)

This is Stardock's issue, not Windows wallpaper.  No point in going through all the BS "fixes" in that thread.  Revert to the original unitl (if and when) Stardock fixes the issue.  I agree, bad coding.  And I am out $20 I didn't really want to spend.

Same bug here. Keeps nagging about explorer not properly closed.
