ok, here's what I did: 1) created a new account, admin privileges. 2) MSCONFIG - turned off all non MS services and all startup itens 3) rebooted. did not change. 4) uninstalled Fences 5 (w/ purge) and installed Fences 4 (I have the license) 5) rebooted - nothing happened, same problem 6) uninstalled some app, including malwarebytes (the only one that can go deep in OS protection) 6) tested Fences 4 - nothing happened 7) uninstal

yes, I did the cleanboot exactly the way you was asked: 1) created a new admin account 2) log in in this account 3) installed fences I did not disable non windows services because it was a newly created account, so no sw installed. and I'm assuming when installing fences, it automatically adds to startup right? I ask again: 1) is there anyway a log fences creates to check for errors (file somewhere or in event manager)

now I can see the option on the menu. but clicking it does nothing. tried to click anyway, delete the fence, but nothing happens. I'm assuming that if it was locked, a ticking mark would appear in the menu entry. but does not change

did the cleanboot, per link above (created a new account) and it did not work. same behaviour of my original account, the menu on the fence does nothing.

tested in the sandbox, it worked. when asked to delete a fence, it brought this dialog, which does not appear in the original environment (the sandbox ran in the same machine I had the problem)

[quote who="jbortone" reply="11" id="3923661"] not really. the only security sw I have on top of windows is malwarebytes. it's really weird, fences works perfectly, all functions.

did not work. I uninstalled current version 5.04, purged using the purge bat available, rebooted, installed the beta version and it does not work. once I create a fence, I can't delete it anymore. in fact, clicking on the 'remove fence' or 'configure fence' or even 'rename fence' nothing happens. (I can rename if I click on the name of the fence though) does it generate any log I can share here?

I do. tks. I'll install and see how it goes. will get back soon.

can you point me to the beta? don't think it's open to all.

Reply to Can't remove a fence in Fences 5.04 in Fences WinCustomize Forums

yes, of course. tried also thru the right click menu, no dice. did the workaround asked (uninstall, purge, etc...) did not work. this problem exists since version 4, so should be something known by now.

this "X" that shows to remove fence, but nothing happens

I upgraded to latest version, and I can't remove/delete a fence anymore from the desktop. Already did the uninstall/purge process but problem remains. using Windows 11 latest version. any updates ? this is an old bug, don't know why it still exists. would be nice to have an interface that allows to manage all fences, instead of relying on the "X" to remove a fence.
