Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Try this.

1. on your desktop right click->Sort->None.
2. view-> disable auto arrange icons.
3. Also give some empty space on your top left corner of your primary monitor. Move away Fences from there if you have them there.

If these don't work. Please post a video of what is happening on your screens. When new icons move in your desktop. Also include information of your Windows version numbers (Winver.exe) and Fences 3 version numbers in the video.

Thanks

If you want it to be sorted by date than it is best to send all new icons automatically into a Fence. It is a known issue that new desktop icons with sorting turn on will have strange behavior.

Thank you,

An effective way. I'll do it.
