This annoying software - how do I get it to lock on my desktop?

Cannot get fences to lock, stay put, annoying and impacting productivity

I purchased the stardock fences software, and have had nothing but problems.

Environment: Windows Pro 10, 3 monitors

I setup a number of fences, moved them to the position I wanted on each monitor (3), and now each time I login, they are at a random place.

 

They are just randomly all over, fences on one monitor appear on another, out of order, and now my morning, each and every morning takes a productivity hit because I have to re-arrange again.

This looked like a smart product to buy, but it's dumbing down my system.

I need fences to STICK to the monitor I create them on.  When I turn on my computer, each monitor will come up, alive, online at different times.  They don't always come up or become active in the same order.

The technology exists to detect the monitor ID.  I need the fences software to simply not appear on the first monitor that appears, but to STICK to the monitor I put it on, and in that same position.

I have tried every option, under Layout & snapping, I have (*) Preserve my desktop layout by scaling my Fences

I do not have checked [] When I plug in a new primary monitor, move my icons to it.

 

Where is the checkbox [x] Lock Fences - on each monitor, where I place them, irrespective of the order of monitor power on, or if a monitor never comes on at all, do not move fences to another monitor.
