Fences 6 crashing and Start11 using unreasonable amounts of cpu after windows update KB5065426

i just updated my windows 11 (build 26100.1 to build 26100.6584, windows update KB5065426), and as soon as i tried to use a fence, my explorer started repeatedly crashing. After it did that for a minute or two, it gave me a popup telling me it disabled fences after it couldnt start up correctly, but my explorer stayed crashing and my cpu usage was still at 99% for like a solid minute. after that everything was fine, until i tried using my start11 features. those dont crash explorer but they do temporarily push my cpu usage up to 100% while i try to use them.

I was able to fix this by uninstalling the update and reverting back to build 26100.1

Fences 6 version: 6.02

Start11 version: 2.53

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Perhaps something went wrong while Windows updating on your system. I am running Windows 11 24H2 OS Build 26100.6725 and Fences 6.02 and Start11 v2.55 Beta. It run without issue for me.

Thank you,
