Restore default windows desktop

Hello,

I just installed Fences and wanted to uninstall it because of some issues. Therefore I wanted to restore the default win10 desktop mode. But after the successfull uninstallation on Fences I could not revert to the deafult win10 desktop because if I want to move an icon I get a black line and I can not move it where I want. It aligns automatically with the last item in row.

I hope you can help me

Thank you for your quick reply.

I tried the PURGE but  I get still the same black lines.

Hello Lagivi,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe if purge is done and it still happening, its no longer because of Fences.

Please try the following:

-For Win8/10 Users: Open the Start Screen, and type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator' from below.

-For 7 Users: click Start, in the start search field type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator'.

-Type: sfc /scannow

-Wait for the scan to complete (this can take several minutes)

If the SFC finds errors, but cannot fix them, please also run the following command in the same command prompt window:

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The above command should assist with replacing any damaged or problematic system files. Please note, however, since it may require restoring certain files, this process can take some time and you will need to be patient until it has completed.

Please let me know whether this resolves your problem or if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,
