Thank you emerysteele!!! After using "app compatibility view", the popups still persisted even though the rundll entry was removed even after booting and the yellow/blue shield (=admin) icon at the rundll32.exe file was also finally gone. So that looked very good already, but the problem was still there. I then used Microsoft / Sysinternals "autoruns" to remove all entries related to Fences. After the next reboot I started Fences manually and the necessary auto

Hi Lex, thank you for your hints. But I already scanned the whole windows folder before. I really believe that the cause of the problem with rundll32 in my computer is different from yours. So the solution that helped you will not help in my case. But thanks again for your attempt.

No, this didn't fix it

Didn't work for me too. I think in most cases the rundll32.exe issue ( yellow-blue shield & UAC prompt) is not caused by a virus.

On my computer with the rundll issue I have no DisplayFusion but coincidentally I have DisplayFusion on my second computer and there is Fences installed too and it works without the rundll issue.

Yes, at my PC with the issue I have a Nvidia graphics card too. But I don't use Malwarebytes or Kaspersky but only Windows Defender.

Unfortunately the issue came back about three weeks ago. Maybe through a Windows update - don't know. The rundll32.exe has still no administrator shield icon but if I start it with a double click the known window is back. On my other computer it's still without this issue. So (in my case) the Windows repair installation is not a durable solution. I don't know why rundll32.exe has changed again but now I know that the problem is not caused by Fences.

Thank you emerysteele for your solution. This solved my problem too. The computer with the issue had the same administrator shield icon. I tried to change or exchange the rundll32.exe file but with no success. So I did the Windows repair installation and now the rundll32 message is gone. Thank you again!!!

First I deinstalled the old version 3.01 and installed the latest version again. Then I did a clean boot exactly as described in your link (new Windows user account (as admin), turned off all non microsoft services and deactived all startup programs except Fences) but even in this new user account there are still the two rundll messages. After that I installed Fences on another computer to find out if the problem also

Hi Sean, I did the test with the "automatic layout". But this didn't change anything. I also created a new Windows 10 user account as admin account. But as I logged into this user the two rundll windows appeared again. I can do a purge and reinstall tomorrow but I really don't believe that it will help: My Windows 10 system is two months old and I had the problem from the beginning. Before I was using Windows 7 and as I started using Fences (v3.01 in

Hi Sean, no, it's not flagged with admin. (I already read your post #6 in this thread and checked this before). I just tried out what happens if I use it with admin flag turned ON: After Windows reboot there are no fences and absolutely no icons on the desktop. As I started Fences manually the two rundll32 windows are coming up again. After that short test I turned off admin flag again.

I have the same problem. I do not run Fences as admin and I don't use special antivirus software (but the Windows built-in protection). I now have Windows 10, 64 Bit. Before I upgraded my PC system two months ago I used Windows 7, 64Bit. With this I had the same problem with Fences and I hoped that with my new PC system the problem will disappear but I have the same problem again. It's very annoying but I don't want to turn off UAC
