Fences 4 still has the disappearing wallpaper problem

from Stardock Forums

Fences 4, for which I paid money, has a problem that began - and not just for me - in a beta for a Fences 3 edition. The problem is that the desktop wallpaper disappears occasionally. This situation strikes me as fairly outrageous.

My system: Windows 10 Pro - 21H1 (2009: 19043); Fences 4.0.0.3.

I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I press the "Show desktop" (minimize all windows) button on the far right of the taskbar the wallpaper disappears along with all windows. It tends to come back when I click on the desktop, but it's still annoying. Win 10 x64 using Fences 3.1.3.3.

Hello, seems I am having this issue as well.

Is there any fix for this yet?

Thanks.

The Stardock support team implicitly said that I was SOL re: this issue on Fences 3 and I should just buy Fences 4 to deal with it:

Fences 3 will not likely be getting any further updates I am afraid.

If you do install Fences 4 beta and still see the issue, we would very much like to know.

Well, I have bought Fences 4 and it's incredibly upsetting that this is still an issue.

If this is still happening for you, can you tell us how to recreate it?
