Fences on 4 monitors - turn a monitor off and all Fences rearrange. Permanently

Fences and multiple monitors

July 13, 2021 1:23:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I bought a new computer with four monitors. I pulled the Fences profile from my prior computer. Now, when I turn a monitor off, all fences rearrange. Permanently. So all Fences have to be dragged to the correct monitor.

Did you set up fences the way you wanted to be for all monitors 

and create a 4 monitor snapshot , does the snapshot work ?

if not can you post a video back here showing your issue 

with all that was mentioned above to do first.

That will help us better .

Thanks

I created a snapshot and when I turn the monitors off, nothing is memorized. Everything ends up on one monitor.

1st, to avoid this issue altogether, it's best to let Windows manage monitor power-offs as it is not as destructive to the desktop when done:

2nd, if you manually turn off a monitor, Windows itself will move everything to the remaining monitor(s).  When you turn them on, and things are not as you like, you need to manually restore a snapshot - its not automatic:
