Fences moving to primary monitor

from Stardock Forums

Hello
Been using Fences for a while now. Love using it since I have all my icons sorted.
I have a two-monitor display. Everytime that I update my graphics card software, ALL my fences and icons move over to the primary monitor, regardless of which monitor I set as primary.
I even try the "Restore Snapshot" function as well and get the same result. All icons and fences shift to the primary monitor regardless of which one it's set to.

How can I prevent this from happening so I don't have to keep moving the icons from one monitor to the other regardless of what's done?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I remembered there are few comments on this issue. And apparently, somehow, when the graphic card do the updates it rewrite the monitors numbers. And sometime it write them in the wrong order. Resulting Fences layout goes wonky. Maybe you can try to turn off all your monitors except the primary one when doing the updates and turn those other on when it is done. That way the Primary will always have number 1. Just my logic thinking.

Thanks

I can give it a try, but at the same time, it does that when I attempt to restore a snapshot as well.

BTW, do you have Fences v3.10 yet? The v3.10 should have better handle on this as mentioned on its ChangeLog : https://forums.stardock.com/505006. If not, just a bit patience please, it should be release to all soon.

Thank you,
