Is there any possibility for me to uninstall this version and re-install the previous version to test it out. If the previous version works fine, then it is clearly something with this version. If the previous version also has the same issue, then it could be something with my laptop that has changed.
Due to restrictions on work laptop; I am not able to do the things that you are suggesting with creating a new administrator account. In fact, they will be revoking my administration privilege on March 1st. I have performed multiple updates before without issue; it seems this latest version is having an issue with screen updates and forcing icons to hide when the fence folders are hidden.
Purged; reboot and re-install. The issue didn't go away.
The latest update to 3.0.8.1 is having display issue. My shortcuts are displaying on the desktop even though the fences are hidden. When I roll over the icons, they disappear. Is there any way to rollback to the previous version?
