Unable to "Disable" Fences

Using fences today will cause mousehooks injected to Explorer to interfere with with user interaction with games such as Valorant.
I find that FPS can drop to single digits during mouse moves with Fence hooks active. I suspect this is those hooks attempting to evaluate the need to render animations with the desktop.
First Solution - I opened fences and disabled it as well as disabling it for startup. This worked for a couple weeks.
Second Solution - As of this week I have found that the issue returned despite having fences disabled. To prevent any means of startup I have configured the security to "Deny Everyone" on the fences program folder. This makes fences unavailable completely without a change to that security and reboot. It has resolved the gaming observations confirming the returned problem is Fences can startup despite being disabled.
- Is this a bug solved in another version?
- How else can I disable Fences outside of simply unchecking enable in the GUI?
