Can't disable Auto-Arrange

from Stardock Forums

I have Fences 3. I turned on Auto-Arrange and Align to Grid on my Windows 11 desktop. Now Fences won't allow me to disable them. When Fences is enabled, I can't even see the checkmarks next to Auto-Arrange and Align to Grid in the right-click menu. When it's disabled, I can see the checkmarks and remove them, but when I re-enable Fences, it goes back to auto-arranging.

I don't care about the files so much but I'd like to be able to put my Recycle Bin back on the right, which it won't allow me to do.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Fences but it doesn't help.

Oddly enough, I can't enable auto-arrange *within* a fence.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Which Windows 11 build number you currently running? Please use Winver.exe

Thanks

Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3593)

I find it won't allow me to do anything on the desktop any longer - Sort by Name, Auto Arrange, etc. - unless I disable Fences.

I made a short video on my Windows 11 system with Fences 3. Try to follow these steps and see if you can move your Recycle Bin around. Do let us know you see differently on your system. Post a video on what you seeing on your system would help us understand your issue.

Thank you,
