Known issues

While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Just confirming that I've installed 5.89, and it does, indeed fix my issue, coded ODNT-9619, which created a major performance issue when launching apps from a fence while Peek was active.  Thanks for the prompt update!

i have updated to 5.89 yesterday and after that i have issues with the network connection that broke down. I do not get this fixed until i deinstalled 5.89 and installed 5.88 again and reinstall the realtek network driver.
Maybe there are some problems with the network driver and not with 5.89, but i will stay at 5.88 as long as there is another update to maybe 5.90? I do not have hours to waste on solving update problems.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not sure if Fences has anything that causing network connection issue. However, in the future, if you wish to install newer version of Fences, please make sure to reboot as soon as installation is done, to make sure all files get install properly.

Thank you,
