Fences 4 does not restore snapshot after graphics card driver update

from Stardock Forums

As stated in the title Fences 4 does not restore any snapshot after Intel graphics card driver update. You get a cryptic error message. I uninstalled Fences 4 and reinstalled Fences 3. There the same snapshot can be restore without any trouble.

Not to mention that after a driver install all icons are placed on the main screen. You need to manually restore the most recent snapshot after every graphics card driver update.

I will stick with Fences 3 until the issue is solved.

Even though I don't think this could be relevant: Windows 19043.1348, 2 monitors / 1920x1200 and 1680x1050

As I said it works with fences3

I have the same exact issue. I am using Windows 11 Latest Update (not Insider). Single Monitor, 3840x1666 (38" DELL). When updating the NVIDIA driver, the fences all get moved left on the screen. Attempting a snapshot restore results in an error. Unfortunately, your application does not allow copy/paste from the Error Message so I cannot past the error here. But it is a System.OverflowExecption: Arithemetic operation resulted in an overflow. Then a whole bunch more error text.

I even tried following these directions (basj reply #3), and got the same result on restore: https://forums.stardock.com/489707/fences-always-goes-back-to-monitor-1-in-multi-monitor-setup-after-driver-re
