Fences only starts with layout on correct monitor about 25% of the time
Stardock Forums
I am running the latest version of Fences 5 and have "store my layout on a per-monitor-configuration basis" turned on. I had high hopes for the last major update but the program (which loads as part of my Windows 11 Pro startup) only puts my fences on the correct monitor about 25 percent of the time. So 75% of the time the first thing I have to do is open the program and do a restore. What is routinely going wrong?
I waste several minutes each time doing the restore because it takes several steps to actually do the restore. You know - select the restore, delete the incorrect image that was created, acknowledge the delete, select the correct restore repoint, tell it not to make a restore point, and so on.
FYI the sequence of my routine is:
1. Turn on monitor 1 (where there are no fences and no icons whatsoever and is set for horizontal/landscape display). This is where I routinely run programs. This is also the monitor where my "hidden icons" carat is located on the toolbar.
2. Turn on monitor 2 (where all fences are located and set for vertical portrait display). I have no icons outside of the multiple fences I created.
3. Turn on pc. Monitors and pc are all connect directly to a UPS.
4. Once pc has completed initial boot-up, the screens start to fill and 75% of the time the fences and associated icons are all located on monitor 1 when they should all be on monitor 2.
How do I get Fences to continually put the fences and icon's on the correct monitor?
