Hello,

Hello ,

Would you Please do a Clean Boot: https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#cleanboot

Test and report back please .

Thank you, AzDude, that was a valuable first step. Fences peek works when i create a local admin account.

On a side note: I experience the same behavior on my desktop as well as on my laptop (both computers configured roughly the same). Which makes me think it has to be either software I installed or windows settings I configured.

Please let me know if there is a next step I can take. In the meantime I will try around, maybe I can track down what's causing the issue.

Best Regards,
Markus

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

But the Clean Boot says you have a Third Party app causing your issue 

so it might take some work on your part to track it down .

I'll try to break Fences on the fresh admin account, and report when successful. I just hope it's not in conflict with an essential app . . .

Few reports of this issue from other members..

I found the issue! Thanks again for your help AzDude.

Solution

Turn on Animation effects in Windows Settings.

. . . I had mindlessly turned it off when setting up my Windows.

Glad to hear its fixed now   

I had problem with peek on 2 out of three computers. Purge and reinstall did not work. For others finding this thread: I made my own "peek" icon. See: Create Show Desktop shortcut in Windows 11 Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum (elevenforum.com)
