Severe Problems with Desktop slowness and sluggishness.

Moving Icons on the desktop, renaming iconson the desktop, creating new files on the desktop or moving new items to the desktop etc.

I'm not happy.  I've been experiencing these issues and have read about many other users experiencing them as well.  I am running Windows 10 Pro for workstations, fully updated with windows OS Antivirus and Malware, on a very powerful machine, 96 Gb Ram, dual xeon processors, AMD Firepro (don't tell me its my graphics card either).  As an example, if I drag a desktop icon just an inch, either while using fences or uninstall fences (uninstalling fences doesn't matter at this point), it takes 6 seconds for the icon to move to its new placement.  I've tried clearing icon cache, making the cache larger, basically all the solution techniques I could find online, with no success.

There is no reason for this to be happening and should be remedied ASAP.  There should be a script released by Stardock to fully remove (I mean ever trace of) Fences from a system, including all Registry entries and OS tie-ins.  Perhaps then a fresh install will fix this.  I'm a developer myself and this needs to be taken care of immediately because this issue affects a users system so very badly.

Take care of this issue before your users go onto social media and adversely affect your business model!

Regards,

Sean

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

There is indeed and highlighted in the Fences Support FAQ here:

Give that a shot and let me know how it works for you, Sean.
