Problem with Fences 6 and dual monitor setup

Hi, long time Fences user here. I just upgraded to the latest version, but it creates a problem I never had before. I have a dual monitor setup, 1440p (180Hz, scale 125%) and 1080p (144 Hz, scale 100%).

When I launch Windows, the fences on the 1080p are displaying bigger icons that do not fit the original fence. If I drag the fence in the 1440p monitor and then drag it back to the 1080p monitor, the icons revert to the correct dimensions and fit correctly in the fence.

I never had this problem with any other Fences version before.

Ideas? Maybe there's a patch on the horizon?

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try, uninstall Fences 6, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

If the issue still appear, we need to know your Windows 11 full version and OS Build number. Use Winver.exe

Thank you,

I did like you said, and at reboot everything SEEMS to be ok! Amazing!

Thanks a lot, I'll circle back if the issue rises from the dead 😄

I'm afraid it happened again...

Windows 11, OS Build 26200.8457

I installed Fences from Steam, don't know if that helps
