Fences Settings do not open and I can't unlock fences

from Stardock Forums

all of a sudden i am not longer able to open the Settings of Fences. No error-message or anything, just nothing.

via the Desktop -> Right click (Settings Can be opened through a desktop shortcut) or unlock fences there is no reaction.

Fences itself is fully functional without issues.

I did a reboot, a clean uninstall / install fences (version 4.10.06 or 4.11-j110). Without any result.

I did not change anything at my system?

windows version:windows 11 22h2

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this, uninstall Fences 4, reboot immediately, download the latest version using this link mention in this thread: https://forums.stardock.com/517370/get;3881371. Install that version, reboot again. Retest and report back.

Thank you,

Did you change your context menu from the Windows 11 version to the legacy version? There is currently an issue where the Fences settings will not work when that change has been made to your system

Yes, I modified the right-click menu through the registry in the previous version of Windows

I restored my changes, and now it's back to normal. But there was no such problem before. Can you fix it?
