We have always been working to improve the reliability of Fences placement on the Desktop. What has made this challenging over the years are all the variables that are involved:
Quantity of monitors
Connection types
DPI \ Scale \ Resolution
Waking from sleep \ hibernate states
Evolution The evolution of Windows itself and how it manages items on the desktop

NOTE: As stated, this is an early Fences 5 build that you will need to have a license for or an active Object Desktop subscription. The alternative is to activate a trial if you did not have a license. Also, while internal tests have been promising, no one should install this on a PC if they are not willing to do considerable work to resolve unforeseen issues. It's not going to set a PC on fire or nuke files but it may involve a manual reconstruction of what's on the desktop. |

Detailed steps to recreate the issue seen
Screenshots and videos are very helpful. Videos can be uploaded to a cloud drive service (GoogleDrive, DropBox, OneDrive, YouTube), with a shared link included in your post. Images can be copied and pasted directly into a post.
If there are specific apps that the app does not work (well) with, please note what apps and their exact versions. If any app is not common, a link to a trial version would be appreciated.
We are very much looking forward to your feedback on this.
