Fences 3 & 4 super slow to load at Windows 10 startup

Fence

from Stardock Forums

2 years ago I have purchased Fences 3 and it worked perfectly with my HP laptop however I got a new Lenovo p15v laptop and after installing Fences 3 it took forever for the fences and icons to show up (around 5 minutes at every statup).  I have tried reinstalling multiple times and went through all the suggested fixes on the Stardock Forum about this issue.  Nothing works and I even purchased an upgrade to Fences 4 to see if this would be better.  It's a shame this bug is killing the app for me. 

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise:

Version 21H2

Installed on ‎10/‎17/‎2022

OS build 19044.2130

 

I have tried:

I have tried disabling Fences from the Statup App, Task Scheduler and Registry and created a startup task in the Task Scheduler to run Fences once logged in.  Nothing worked..

Please help!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. How long does the Fences loading? Do you have something like, Wise care 365 which can list out how long Fences loading time at boot. Refer my screenshot below. They list out my Fences just load 0.02 and 0.06sec. Maybe you can this software and see it. Post a screenshot here so we can verify it.

Thanks
