Desktop icons rearranged every time after sleep

Icon positions messed up after waking from sleep

I’m experiencing a recurring issue with Fences 6.x. Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and then wakes up (when the screen turns back on), the layout of my desktop icons changes. They do not return to the arrangement I had previously set, which is quite frustrating.

I already had this issue with Fences 5.x, and at that time, your support team provided me with a fix that worked perfectly. However, since upgrading to version 6.x, the problem has returned.

I would like to know if there is a similar fix or solution available for the current version.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do you have multimonitor layout in your system. If so perhaps you need to do the layout troubleshooting as mentioned in the first post of this thread: https://forums.stardock.com/528229/. It was from older Fences v5 thread but I do think it still should work on Fences 6. Please try and report back.

Thank you,

Hello

After a few days of purging and reinstalling Fence 6.x, it seems my icons stay in the same place when the computer goes to sleep and when it turns back on.
