[quote who="basj" reply="23" id="3800418"] When Explorer Freeze, you do not need to logout/restart, you can just restart Explorer.exe. I usually do it via the task manager. Ctrl-Alt-del,->Start "Task manager"-> Process tab-> Scroll down to "Windows Explorer" right click on it->Restart. [/quote] Honestly, losing all of my open folders like that is disruptive enough that I might as well log out and log back in again (or restart the computer) and get the benefits th

This problem persists, and I have to log out or restart windows multiple times a week if not multiple times a day because of this issue. I'd really rather not stop using fences, but this is incredibly annoying.

I'm still seeing this on the latest version of Windows. Because of issues with Windows update, I was forced to reinstall Windows from scratch (so whatever issues I may or may not have had with the state of my Windows install are now gone), and I'm now on Windows Enterprise 10 version 20H2 (OS build 19042.630). I'm not seeing the problem anywhere near as frequently as I used to, but it's still happening at least occasionally (whereas previously, it was happening a lot ).

[quote who="basj" reply="3" id="3776880"] Quoting fence-eater, reply 2 Per Winver.exe, I currently have Windows 10 Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.1098), though the problem has been going on for a few months IIRC, so I'm sure that it's been occurring with several versions as the OS has been updated. Fences is versi

I have a similar issue where anywhere from every few hours to every few days, Fences will freeze, as will the taskbar. Double-clicking on the deskstop does nothing, and I clicking on the taskbar gets no response. Also, the wallpaper no longer updates from the Deskscapes slideshow. I don't think that I've ever seen it recover from that state on its own. If I use the windows key to make the start menu pop up, then I'm able to click on the applications on the taskbar again temporarily, b

Weird. I tried that earlier, and it didn't work, but it works now. I don't know what I did wrong before. Thanks for pointing that out. In any case, that's certainly an improvement over having to select everything one by one, but being able to just tell it to pull all of the images from a folder or group of folders would be much nicer.

Thanks. I was afraid that that was the case. I got DeskScapes hoping that it would handle folders with subfolders correctly for random wallpapers, since the built-in Windows wallpaper in Windows 10 can't do that without some trickery involving convincing it to give you access to the old GUI, only I come to find that DeskScapes won't even let you multiselect images, let alone tell it to use a folder of images (at least not that I've found). So, that's a definite letdown. The fact that you can

Is there any way to add folders to the list of random backgrounds? The only way that I've been able to find to add images to "Random backgrounds" is to add them individually, which would be incredibly time-consuming for more than a few images, let alone hundreds or thousands. Adding folders via "Manage folders" just seems to add more images that you can select individually as the current wallpaper or add individually to "Random backgrounds" by right-clicking on them and selecting "Add to rand
