Peek not working

from Stardock Forums

No matter what keys I set for hotkeys for Fences to come to front (Peek), nothing happens.

If I go the desktop, the fences all become dark. But they never pop-up over any focused (or unfocused) windows.

Running @@H@ beta of Windows 11 and Beta of Fences.

Fences just releasted a new version today.

Go to your account page to download reboot test and report back if that works for you.

Are you sure that holding down the windows key and the space bar at the same time 

doesn't bring back your Fences ?

Works for me everytime .

I am holding the keys down. When I am at the desktopm, Fences lights up. When I have windows open, it does not come to the top.

 

Running version 4.0.0.3.

 

HELP!!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try Fences V4.0.5.21 and see if it helps. Also note that it is best to uninstall your old version, reboot (important), reinstall the latest version. Reboot again and retest it. Report back here.

Please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.

Thank you,

I did everything. When I hit the hot key to bring Fences to the top, the window I was focused on loses focus but Fences does not come to the front. And when I hit the hot key again (I use the one that toggles), Focus return to the original window I was focused on.

Remember that I am running Windows 11 Beta (22H2).
