Yes, both items are enabled as depicted. The Fences startup delay is still there. What do you suggest trying next?

Thank you. I didn't know about the registry key HKCU\Software\Stardock\Settings\SupressAutoUpdate. Just changed it. Will let you know should the update notification appear again (I have the impression it shows up weekly). Thanks for now

I just disabled it following your advice. The delay is still there. Just checked via a full system restart + user logon. Still no desktop icons upon logon (they would have been there if I disabled Fences entirely rather than just the quick hide) and more than 5 seconds delay to have them show up. What can I try next?

On a fresh install of Windows 10, after installing Fences 3, I experience a very significant delay for desktop icons to appear, after logon. We are talking about 5-6 seconds which is a very bad inconvenience that should not occur. The delay is all caused by Fences, because as soon as I disable Fences entirely via Fences options, the delay disappears and desktop icons appear with 0 delay upon logon. How to fix this?

Fences 3 does not appear to have an option to disable automatic update checking (such as that found in Groupy for example). I'm not interested in updates, how can I avoid the annoying recurrent notification once and for all?
