All of My Fences and Desktop Icons Disappear When MS Teams Starts in Full Screen Mode

from Stardock Forums

Windows 7 PRO 64 Bit SP1, HP Z220 I-7 32 GB Ram, 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (PNY)

Has anyone else noticed this?  I thought it was the new version of Fences, so I went back to Fences 3.09 - Same As current version

So I have bee paying special attention to my Fences and how they react to programs starting up and shutting down. This afternoon, I checked Fences and started Teams. I demands to start in fullscreen mode. After I dbl clicked the title bar to take out of Fullscreen mode, I see all my Pop Up fences are gone along with the few desktop icons I had.

May only happen when I have a lot of programs running

I don't know if this is a Fences problem, or the fault of fat drunken Teams knocking everything over.

I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to refresh screen - still gone. Seems to take a reboot to fix.

Thanks

 

Later EDIT:

I notice that the windows process for Fences is now gone (stopped) after Teams started.

MORE:

I have started Teams twice in the last 2 days and Fences continue to function no problem. So Teams probably not the culprit here.

Same thing happens to me except it seems to happen randomly. I don't run MS Teams.

It only started after upgrading to the current version. Sad to hear it's happening even if you revert to previous.

Although, PERHAPS the common denominator here is having lots of programs running.

Hello for 4mythings,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. How is your issue the same as OP since you're not running MS Teams? You also on Windows 7? More details will help and it is better if you start your own thread so we can help you better there.

Hello Rayban6,

Support suggested you to do the purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling. Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.
