missing fence

I was moving the fences around and all but one disappeared.  When I rebooted 3 of the 4 show up but one, including all the icons, is MIA.  Can someone please tell me how to get that fence back?  I appreciated any help.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You might have accidentally move to a new Fence Desktop pages. You can learn how to navigate these Desktop pages. Or, you can disable it and all your Fences should return to your main Desktop page.

Use this steps:

  1. Open Fences configuration.
  2. Go top "Desktop Pages" tab.
  3. Learn to using it by clicking on those blue links.
  4. or un-tick the "Enable" box to bring everything into your main Desktop.

If these does not help, please report back.

Thanks

Hi,

Apologies for necroposting but I am having the same issue, and it doesn't seem to be Desktop pages related.   The shortcuts for the items in the missing fence are still in This PC > Desktop, but I can't find the fence nor can I find the icons in any of my other fences!

 

Is there a way to search across Fences, ie which fence has which shortcut?

Thanks

John

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. No, there is no easy way to do it other than manually looking for those icons or Fences. What you can do, if it really cannot be found on another desktop page. Is, to start over.

On your Fences Config->"Layout & Snapping page"->Layout Snapshots->Click on the "Perform automatic layout"->Click "Yes"-> this will than create for you 3 Basic Fences with all your desktop icons in it. From there you can recreate / rearrange your Fences. After that is done remember to save a snapshot so that you can come back to this one if this issue ever happen again.
