Disappearing fences

Where'd they go?

I'm about at the point where I'm ready to not bother with these apps any longer.
Always seems to be something.
This is the 4th time I've tried fences and this is not the first time this has happened.

Step 1 - have a desktop full of icons
Step 2 - Oh, I'll install Fences - let's organize them!
Step 2.5 - Fences lumps all shortcuts together in a couple of categories - mostly apps.
Step 3 - Create new Fences by left click, drag, create Fence here,
Step 4 - Meticulously drag icons into the fences
Step 5 - rearrange fences to suit your taste.
Step 6 - Somewhere in all that I'll guarantee an entire area will disappear taking the desktop shortcuts with it.

This is a Win10 system with Ryzen 7, 32 gb RAM and a Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero mobo and GTX 1050 Ti video card.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I uninstalled it but I just installed today and it was version 4 - I assume Latest & Greatest since OD downloaded it.

As I said I uninstalled it. I did look at all the layout options and changed a few - nothing brought the MIA back.
I even tried show and hide desktop

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Missing from desktop, all of the fences and Icons? Try check your other Fences desktop page. If you drag an icon or a Fence across your left or right most edge of your screen, Fences will automatically create a new Fences desktop page. You can learn how to navigate desktop page or disable it all together. Refer to screenshot below. Try that and report back.

Thanks

I'll try it but the two that disappeared were NOT the fences being dragged.
It may be a few days - I have work to do.
