Solved it for now. Before updating NIVIDIA, I disable fences in [Configure Fences\Home\Basic Options] and re-enable Fences after the NVIDIA update and all is good with the world.
Hello, Everyone. I've been using fences for a good 5+ Years now but I'm a Power user with many different Program and because of this Icons. Fences Performance is generally good when I have 3 or 4 fences, but normally I have around 20+ Fences, and the Performance is really bad. Is there an Alternative? I tried Tago but it missed a Grid system. Any Launcher would work as well.

Brother, I switched last night, and I'm never looking back. It does take a minute to wrap your mind around how the developer thinks. It's not as quick as making little fences with Stardock's product, but it has the exact same end result; and looks cleaner.
I don't see any impact whatsoever. The only glitch I've ever noticed is that Portals has stopped running a couple of times, so then they all just disappear from the desktop. I just start the program back up and everything is fine. If I think about it objectively, it seems to have happened when I was possibly uninstalling software with Revo uninstaller. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. It's been very rare that it happened but it did happen recently on two computers, both of which I was testing some stuff out and uninstalling it. Other than that I don't think this software really uses much RAM. I've been consistently using it since I first talked about it here. I'll continue to use it as long as he keeps it updated. I donate about five or so dollars for any license I want to grab for any computer I put it on.
Fences by Stardock is a frequently updated tool with live versions available for users to download. The Fences 3 version is compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10. However, the latest Fences 4 version supports Windows 10 and 11.
I suggest installing the trial version of the fences and seeing if anything goes wrong. It should have all of the features of the paid version. If you end up buying it and then experience issues you can contact their support and if they're unable to fix the problem you can request a full refund, so long as everything's done within 30 days of buying the software.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. If you get trial and you're registered (I think registering for trial might even be mandatory) and use it until it ends, they might send you an offer to buy fences with a small discount near or after the end of the trial via e-mail. They sent me an e-mail with a 15% discount, not a big deal but saving 1,5$ sure ain't bad (that's a tier 1 bundle and a half right there!).
To each his own. I personally can't stand the start menu and avoid using it. I neatly organized my desktop with the help of fences and I have easy and quick access (literally just point and double click) to all software outside of my steam library that I want the quick access to.
For those unfamiliar, Fences is a utility that lets you stay organized by automatically placing your shortcuts and icons into fences, which are resizable shaded areas on your desktop. Fences are highly customizable, can be rolled up to save desktop space, and can be toggled with a double-click.
It doesn't create fences like other desktop organizers do, but provides multiple drawers with lists of your content. As its name implies, it will make all content on your desktop disappear and instantly expand the drawers when you hover the cursor to the side of your screen.
Yup! Fences would be definitely be very useful to everybody. People into online activities have serious problem with regards to maintaining their files on their desktops, so using the fences is the best way to go.
\t \t \tFences 2.0 also comes with a couple new features, Folder Portals and Desktop Pages. Folder Portals lets you create a fence from any folder and organize the contents on your desktop for quick access. Desktop Pages lets you set up multiple screens, each with their own set of fences, and navigate between them just by clicking and dragging. While we found it fairly easy to set up and use the fences, we liked the user guidance and tutorials so you can make sure you're using Fences to its fullest potential.

You can also create your own "fences". Simply draw a rectangle with your mouse on an empty desktop area and click the "Create fence here" option. Afterwards, you can start using drag-and-drop actions to add content to the group, customize the appearance of the "fence", and sort the included files, apps or folder anyway you like.
The only thing I'd add to this program would be an integrated help guide. Even though several useful instructions are available within the app's interface, it's pretty difficult to keep track where's the info you need. A built-in help manual, with a search feature, might prove to be of good use. I had to figure out myself how to reveal the main window of the application (right-click over an empty desktop area and select the "Configure Fences" option), move "fences" between screens, etc.
A simplified user interface is provided for you to work with. Several configuration options let you adjust the color of things, show and conceal icons, configure hotkeys, etc. Several shortcuts, such as files, folders, utilities, etc., can be placed inside one of the fences.
