Two Instances of Fences Settings in Task Manager-Sept-2021

from Stardock Forums

Reopening a previous Log Entry; 

My Windows 10 system will slow to a crawl. Sometimes this is due to anti-virus checking software, but when the Task Manager is opened, I find 3 Processes for 'Fences Settings' in the list, tying up 100% of the CPU. In order to use my computer, i must manually End these tasks. There appears to be no adverse effect to Fences when I End These Tasks.

I was using Fences 3.0.9.11, but since upgraded to 3.1.1.3 hoping the bug would be fixed, but I'm continuing to experience it.
