Reopening a previous Log Entry; My Windows 10 system will slow to a crawl. Sometimes this is due to anti-virus checking software, but when the Task Manager is opened, I find 3 Processes for 'Fences Settings' in the list, tying up 100% of the CPU. In order to use my computer, i must manually End these tasks. There appears to be no adverse effect to Fences when I End These Tasks. <p style="font-size: 16px; b
Just upgraded to the recently released Fences upgrade (3.1) and will see if that corrects the multiple instances.
Update - While I was typing the previous note, a third instance of 'Fences Settings' appeared..
Wait - I'm confused... It it expected behavior for your app to tie up 100% of the CPU bandwidth? (This is a screen show from now 7/22/2021 9:13 AM) This wasn't a problem in previous Fences installations. Do I need to use an previous version?
Yep - confirmed that when Fences.exe is run - the 'Run this program as an administrator' is unchecked.
Sean - that's what I would have thought - but the 'Fences Settings' appears in the Task Manager even though the 'Config Fences' dialog box is not displayed/active.... It's a puzzle to be sure.. When I manually End the Tasks, there doesn't appear to be any negative impact (all my desktop fences remain and work as expected..)
The Laptop is Intel based... I'll keep an eye on it - it may be easier to just end the Tasks when the system slows down. I know to End the Tasks, but there may be other customers who are not familiar with that required workaround and get really frustrated with their system. If it continues, or the frequency of the slowdowns increase, I'll uninstall.
Just to be clear - The Two instances of 'Fences Settings' are visible in both the Task Manager:Proceses and Task Manager:Startup (See Below). I am using a company-owned/managed laptop and cant add administrative accounts. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/48/60/4860333/19a24e44-49be-46b7-abda-8c44e67963ee.png" alt
I'm experiencing a similar issue: Infrequently (though enough to be troublesome), my Windows 10 system will slow to a crawl.

I completed the purge.bat and reinstalled on July 12. Today (July 19), my Windows 10 system slowed to a crawl. In the Task Manager, you see two instances of 'Fences Settings' tying up 100% of the CPU. I have to manually End these Tasks. Any other suggestions?
I ran the purge bat and re-installed. We'll see if that corrects the issue. thanks
I'm also experiencing a similar issue: Infrequently (though enough to be troublesome), my Windows 10 system will slow to a crawl. Sometimes this is due to anti-virus checking software, but when the Task Manager is opened, I find 2 Processes for 'Fences Settings' in the list, tying up 100% of the CPU. Is this expected behavior? I'm using Fences 3.0.9.11 &nb
I'm having the same issues with Fences Settings tying up resources (as seen in the Task Manager). Many times, there are two instances of 'Fences Settings'. I can End the Task... But Is this behavior by design? Is this an indication of a failure to close the resource when it's completed it work? And can it be resolved in ways other than a Reboot?
