Crashes Windows Explorer

from Stardock Forums

I've been a loyal user of Fences for as long as it has been available - and loved it.  Something is awry with the latest version, however.  I posted earlier about the spacing of icons inside fences.  That seemed to resolve itself, but now Windows Explorer (Windows 10) consistently crashes when Fences is running.  Furthermore, I cannot open files (like PDFs) from inside a fence or Windows Explorer will crash.  Truly bewildering.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Your Windows 10 full version number. Use Winver.exe for that.
  2. Your Fences version numbers.
  3. In your other post (icons space issue) have you tried Purge and reinstall?

Thanks

If you have not, 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,

Okay, I wonder why you change account. Anyway, you mentioned you can't reboot. What is the error?

Not sure this is a Stardock issue.  No error shown.  Won't even get to post.  I've ordered a new computer.
