Thank you, those information were the one I am asking for. Maybe there is another application running which is conflicting with Fences. Please try cleanboot, follow these steps: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1332445272/Fences+Clean+Boot. Try it and report back.

Thank you,

Hi, I am very glad that you have provided a solution. The previous problem didn't occur when I used it that day, but when I opened the computer this morning, it returned to the original situation, I don't know if it's because my computer has too much software, which leads to incompatibility.

okay, I appreciate your help anyway, Have a good day!

Thanks

That shows your Windows Explorer.exe keep crashing, shows that something is running which causing conflict with Fences. Did you try Cleanboot as I mentioned in my reply#4?

emm, i have some desktop partition,  i use folder portal, However, some folders are presented as shortcuts on the desktop, And the folders for these shortcuts are named after the original files, so I renamed the file names, I don't know if you can understand

My issue is this:

 

I'm using fences with different monitor resolutions, and the option to save layout fences per resolution active.

 

The problem is the last update do not rearrange the correct fences layout when I change monitor resolution, this is very annoing.

 

Regards
