Fences SWAPS the content of my monitors at Windows 10 startup!

February 7, 2018 4:41 PM from

This is driving me crazy, I'm thinking about uninstalling Fences.

I have two monitors of different sizes, the primary one is 27 inches at 2560x1440 connected to a DP, the secondary one is a 24 inches at 1920x1080 connected to DVI in extended display mode (GeForce 1060, Windows 10).

When I logon, all the fences are swapped and I have to move them back in place every time. With fences 2.x and 3.0 it happened randomly (roughly 50% of the times), then with 3.06 it seemed to be fixed but with 3.08 the fences are always swapped.

I think that the DVI monitor may be listed as first monitor when Fences initializes, even if in Windows it is set as Secondary, as I noticed Windows logo is displayed on that second monitor at power on, then it changes to the correct primary monitor during startup.

If anyone knows of a possible fix, please suggest it as this is a very annoying problem.

Thanks

It WORKED.

Thank you very much. I'll just add this if anyone should have similar problems:

before you purge Fences and reinstall, take a snapshot, it won't be purged and you can restore it later.
