Desktop Pages Not Working!

from Stardock Forums

I've just recently done a clean install of windows 11 and purchased the latest Fences 4, 

and i am unable to use desktop pages, i have it enabled and if i drag from the side of the screen with the mouse it starts to scroll the whole page as expected but no matter what i do whether i drag half way or all the way, it just snaps back to its original position. 

i have also tried using the shortcut "alt + left" or "alt + right" but nothing works. 

is there perhaps a setting I'm missing somewhere? Also it says im using version 4.0.0.3 and looking on the forum here i see mention of a version 4.1 am i using the latest version?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Has you perhaps start by creating second page first? Just drag a fence or just a single icon across the edge of your screen, left or right, until Fences automatically create a new page for you. Once that is done, you have a new desktop page. Than try those change desktop page method and see if that work. If that still don't work. Report back here.

Thanks

Thanks thats exactly what i needed to do, as soon as i read your suggestion i was like ohhhh derrrr of course haha. 

although that should probably be said on the desktop pages section in the settings maybe, or even have a popup message if someone tries to use it without moving a fence to a new page first and tell them to do so. 

thanks for your quick reply.
