After further experimentation, I was able to consistently get the Lock Fences menu option to appear and reappear on the right click menu with Fences 4 under Win11. It is tied to the "Show Labels" option under "Color & Appearance". Setting to "Never" removes the menu option from the right click menu, while "On Mouseover" and "Always" shows Lock Fences in the right click menu.

Ran purge/uninstall/reboot of Fences 4 again. Lock Fences was visible for multiple right clicks on the desktop in the menu. Started drawing new fences without restoring a backup. Drew four fences and started changing roll up settings, setting opacities, and pixel margins through Configure Fences frontend. Lock fences option in right click menu disappeared again. Sounds to me like a bug in the program and not an interaction with a background app.

Only using Microsoft's Windows Defender on all four systems as far as antiviral program goes. On the three systems I can see right now, both instances of Fences are listed under Startup and neither disabled. The only common background program between all four systems (that isn't part of Windows) would be f.lux to control screen color temperature.

With Fences 4 under Win11, I do not see a Lock Fences option when clicking on a fence or on the desktop. Was mistaken earlier, I had one of my installs mixed up. It's three Fences 4 installs, one under Win11 and two under Win10; and an install of Fences 3 under Win10. That is with both the Win11 right click and classic right click menu. I'll try running the purge tool under Win11, though it had no effect with Fences 4 under Win 10 exhibiting same issue.

Have the same issue, no way to unlock Fences. Ran the purge app listed (run as Admin) and reinstalled Fences 4 from latest download version with no change in behavior; unable to unlock. Should be some way through the "Configure Fences" settings frontend to lock/unlock Fences and not solely through right-click menu. I have seen this issue in both the latest version of Fences 4 on three systems running Win10 and with latest Fences 3 under Win 11.

Upgraded a Fences 3 install to Fences 4, and after restart the saved snapshots loaded into 4 are stretched out horizontally. They extend past the left-border of the left-monitor, with one fence now completely offscreen having been pushed by its neighboring box. Reloading the saved snapshot has no effect. Had to uninstall Fences 4 (after also disabling it from starting up due to file in use error preventing uninstall to complete and fail out) to reinstall Fences 3 wit
