Using TaskView with Fences3 is crashing desktop on Windows10

from Stardock Forums

Fences 3.0.9.11
Windows10 Enterprise 64bit version 1809 OSBuild 17763.1339
HP Elite x2

When Fences is active, activating Task View crashes the desktop (exeplorer.exe process) immediately
Deselecting "Enable Fences" in Home tab of Fences configuration allow normal usage of Task View, but selecting "Enable Fences" again after using Task View will again crash desktop immediately

Any ideas ? fix ? workaround ?

Thanks in advance :-)

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know if the Computer under corporate environment? And it is using Forcepoint / Websence Security software? If not, please try the purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account.

Hi Basj,
Yes, it's a corporate environment using Forcepoint, but I don't see evidence of Websence security software usage.

Its is known compatibility issue between Forcepoint (used to be Websence) with Fences. Forcepoint somehow block Fences from doing its job.

Thank you,
