Fences keep moving to primary monitor

Second install, different machine. Same problem

from Stardock Forums

I have a two monitor setup with Win 10 and all new graphics card with all updates.  Same problem as my old machine.  After the first day or two, Fences started migrating my fences from the secondary monitor to the primary one every time the machine hibernated or went to sleep overnight.  Now it happens everyday and i have to restore the previous day's setup.

Very annoying.

I've tried all that.  Many many times with the old machine and the new.  In the end, the fences keep on moving.

Not getting anywhere.  Clean reinstall and Fences still keep moving around.  Most unreliable app ever.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

What you are likely running into is the process (hibernation \ sleep) is first shutting down the one monitor making Fences (Windows itself) believe the monitor is unplugged.  With that, it would be expected that Fences (anything on the desktop) gets migrated to the monitor it sees as still active.

As a test, instead of 'sleep\hibernation', try (for a day if you like) just using this power option:

So you are just powring down the screens but not actually sleeping the PC.
