DIsappearing icons inside fences

from Stardock Forums

Hi all I've been using Fences since it's inception and I've never encountered any errors with it until recently where a load of shortcuts within the individual fences are simply disappearing. I am stumped by this. No viruses or any such thing appears to be at fault. Backups are too recent.

win 10 ver 21H1 Build 19043.1766

Fences 4.0.0.3

Any ideas please:grin:

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do you have OneDrive Desktop Sync turn on. If yes, that is the issue that causing it. Please refer to this thread : https://forums.stardock.com/501085/

Thanks

Hello and thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that that could be the problem, however this isn't the problem in this case. I automatically remove onedrive from all my installs so it must be something else, any ideas as it's really weird why this has suddenly started to happen.

Does restoring a Snapshot bring them back ?

If you look within your actual desktop folder, does all your shortcut still physically there? If it still there, maybe your Fences just accidentally move to another Fences desktop page? Try navigate those pages or disable Fences desktop page and see if all the Fences return to your main page.

Thank you,

Hi, backups /snapshots too recent to restore. However, like so many other things these days I do not find I have the time to dig deep into these issues like I was trained to because I have an 8 year old son who I home school leaving me very little time to concentrate on my profession. I decided to not find out what caused this (Though likely another Microsoft update) and utilised a 6 day old rollback RX restoration point which fixed the issue.  Naturally I am curious as to why this happened and shall post back here if and when I can replicate this. Thanks to everyone who are assisting. Cheers folks!
