Known issues
While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.
What does "miscellaneous installer changes" mean?
Fences5 is out as a subscription service which I will not be buying into. Do these changes made to Fences4, force me into the upgrade to Fences5 if I attempt to re-install Fences4?
It's just that, various installer fixes and adjustments; one of them is a notification that Fences 5 is indeed available.
However, nothing is forced, the notification can be easily disabled in its display, and Fences 4 will continue to function for you as it always has with this update.

Is there a method to turn off the upgrade nag, besides deleting the software?
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried to click on "Do not show this again" check box?
Thanks

That isn't the window I get. My options are Upgrade or Remind me later. I post the screen shot the next time I see it.
Do you also have Object Desktop manager running in the background? You might need to stop update check in Object Desktop manager setting too.
Thank you,

This page within the forum has information on how to disable the update nag and thus on how one can continue to use the software that one has bought without being pushed repeatedly to buy a new version of the software.
That disables the update checks but thats unrelated to information about v5. It would stop you getting any future v4 updates.
You just tick the box bottom left to not show the prompt about fences 5 being available.
Prompts about new updates are about new versions of the software you own.
I don't see that on my system. Make sure you restart your system after installation finished. If its still happening. Might need to uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot again to make it go away.
Thank you,

These cover both, the Fences 5 notice and any future Fences 4 update notices.

Question withdrawn -This is a setting in Windows:

X- In the version of Fences before the most recent update, placing the cursor in the bottom right corner would bring up the desktop, allowing access to my fences. With the new update (Fences 4.22), this does not seem to work. I looked for a way for enable this in Settings - have I missed seeing this? In the meantime, I've been using Windows+D (as specified in Settings and the Windows default), but I find using keystrokes is not as convenient as just moving the cursor to the corner.
Many thanks
