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.

I posted a detailed message in the previous version.  Do I take it that I should install this new version without knowing if the old version caused any of my issues?

Since you have Windows 11 Pro, have you tried installing Fences in a Windows Sandbox?

I did not try sandbox as a clean boot with my normal background load and fences the only thing running should be a better test.

I think that the last two entries in 'changes' may have direct bearing on my issues as my problems tended to cluster around wake/resume moments.  In one recorded case even a separate background logging process stalled for over 4 minutes at the exact moment I returned to the machine.

I will try 6.52 as a normal upgrade but will continue logging and resort to a clean boot if problems persist.  

I will report back once I have had a chance to test.

Hello, 

Fence Version 6.52 Just updated  from 6.46 same issue.


There seems to be a Icon name issue.  When the name text box line is maxed, the text is hidden behind a Fence.  This happens on multiple monitors, and on multiple fences with different icons.  Icon size does not matter, it does not change the issue.  I have provided a screenshot of the Nvidia icon (i maxed it name out on line 1) to show the cut off N.  I have already tried the Fix desktop icon spacing utility in troubleshooting.  It did not work.



I will enable advanced logging, and submit a error report in just a few min.
Please advise.  Thank you
Jeff
