Displaying Fences on second monitor

Hi,

Can anyone please help me? I'm running the latest edition of Fences on a Windows 11 PC. I have 2 monitors connected and I want to set Fences so that the icons are on the secondary display NOT the main display. 

If I drag them across to the secondary display they simply bounce back to the main display.

Does anyone know a workaround that will correct this problem?

Thanks

Tony

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. That is strange, click, drag on Fences title bar should move it to anywhere you wish to put it. Does it move around the primary monitor at all? And the issue only when you tried to move to the secondary? 

Perhaps, there something went wrong while installing. Have you tried uninstalling, reboot immediately after uninstall is done, reinstall it and reboot again after the installation is done. Test it out and report back.

If the issue still appear, need to know more on your system.

  1. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS build number. Use Winver.exe.
  2. Full Fences version number installed.
  3. Is this a new installed or it was updated from previous older version of Fences, installed over?
  4. Do you have ever locked your Fences, if you did, try unlock it.

Thank you,

Thanks Basj,

I think you have solved it. I tried moving the Fences individually around the primary monitor and they worked fine. I then tried dragging them, one at a time, to the secondary monitor and they stayed put :) Just out of interest I rebooted the computer to see what would happen and they are still on the secondary monitor which is where I want them.

Previously I was dragging them all at once so that might be useful information for you.

Thanks very much for your help

Regards

Tony

That was it, You need to click and move one at a time. Unless the Fences are grouped together in tabs. Anyway, really glad to hear worked it out. :thumbsup:
