I had to download the trial Fences first because i couldn thru Objects menu.
Why you need to do the trial download, while you can directly download via your account product download page, as mentioned in my reply#1 ?
after rebooting i can access everything via the Objects menu except in the lower section, Objects Desktop Insider, there is no dropdown menu to the right of Fences 6, the way there is on my other win 11 pc.
You don't see this when click on the drop down menu button?

for future reference, is there a way to uninstall everything and do a clean reinstall of Objects, knowing that I'll probably lose my configurations?
Reinstalling Object Desktop might help resolve this issue. Don’t worry—you don’t need to uninstall your other Stardock apps, since they run separately from Object Desktop.
