Fences Pro seems broken

from Stardock Forums

My copy of Fences Pro on my Windows 10 computer is giving me trouble. It doesn't launch properly after a reboot and now I can't place a shortcut icon after installing a program.

My version is 1.10.419.19935.

After a reboot, the icons are organized, but no groups are showing as expected. I start Fences manually from the Windows Start button, click around a little and the Desktop gets normal, but something is still wrong. I just installed a program with a short cut, and the short appears on the bottom of the page, but there is one of those "Stop" symbols on it when I try to move it into a Fences category.

 

Suggestions?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know what is your Windows 10 full version and OS Build number. You can use Winver.exe to get those number.

Added note: Most probably you need newer version. Support for Windows 10 was added while in Fences 3.0 and there are lot of changes done on Fences and on Windows 10 since then.

You can refer here for Fences changelog: https://www.stardock.com/products/fences/history

Thank you.

I recently did some windows updates;

Version 22H2 OS Build 19045.4598

Can I get an update on Fences Pro? It says it's up to date.

There is no Fences v1 update for a long time. But, you can purchase Fences v5 to work on latest Windows 10 versions.

Thank you,
