Reply to Fences 5 Upgrade Lifetime in Fences Stardock Forums

I have written the company with the same complaint... What do you mean by lifetime. IF for only Fences 5 then it has to last for 3 years to equal out or its not equitable. I did a survey and got a 20 percent discount, but I guess I didn't wait for the server to update and I was changed the 9.99 ignoring the discount. So I've asked for my money back and an explanation of what lifetime means. I'm on 4, my wife's new machine is on 3 cuz I can't buy another 4 and the only d

Basj. The upgrade worked well. I was confused because this version required a repayment. But it overlaid the original 11. I also learned how to back up the setting from a registry export. Thanks to all.

Sorry, got my versions mixed up. The latest version 2 was offered for 3.99, for past users a day ago.

Does Start 11 v3 use version 2's settings (configuration) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

note: I was confused about the version numbers and have edited them. The answers are provided in the responses below. Thank you forum I installed Start 11 V2, a new purchase and it looked like I needed to reconfigure everything? I uninstalled and was concerned that my older version 2 settings were wiped out. So, I wonder if the latest version 2 has another location and must be configured completely for this version I reinstalled 11 vs and

Thanks Basj. I just wrote a lengthy reply and am not going to post it. I just don't get why a sale's related question on a 3rd party product sold by Stardock is not being acted on and why the communications have fallen into the black hole. The sms communcations are nuts and the online form seems broken. My complaint, I believe is reasonable but not the subject for a forum and a normal part of doing business. I don't think that Stardock who benefits from the s

You asked me to let you know whats going on after you said you didn't know anything about me, email address or other ... and since I've emailed support 3 times and an audio message that has been referred to; and since there has been no response... I let you know that I'm sending you a specific email and who its from. Seems providing the email is the most considered option, sorry. PB

The solution I posted, reply 12 is the correct solution. The "helper menus" are provided for Microsoft Apps in particular and is created by a system .dll At the time, I was trying to see if fences or start 10 might be provoking the empty menu. But it has only to do with Microsoft's new way to share app info. They are doing away with MAPI in lieu of a new form of app sharing. Its name alludes me.. Its interesting to note that Microsoft's new scheme only share

I believe that I have the answer and it has nothing to do with the menu system.... It was suggested by Microsoft that the menu was interfering... but this is not true! Go into windows settings and select "privacy" and then "background apps." I turned this off and unchecked on the apps. I don't know if the last step is necessary, but I don't use apps. The menu that appears is function less. I'll report this to Microsoft and try to determine which a

Why not try uninstalling start 10 and then reinstall? I suspect that start10 keeps track of the icons in history list. I'm pretty certain there is a setting in start 10 which determines how many items appears on the history menu. It may be set to 0.

I terminated fences and start10 but the menu appeared. So it seems that they are not the culprit. However, the problem appears while the machine is idle. I have disabled all tsrs and will add them back. If the problem is stardock related, I am sure it will crop up on members machines. It has on my two unrelated machines. Thx.

Since windows update 1803, on my two computers a sub menu appears randomly. The text for that menu is located in the system32 folder in a temporary file created by applicationframehost.exe I believe that file is named applicationframe.exe.mui It contains the text of the small menu that randomly appears in the left top corner of the desktop or a running program. The items print and share do nothing... the settings brings up a blue dialog box on the left side of th

using configuration files from an older install and... in Fences Stardock Forums

I was forced to do a clean install of Windows 10 fall creator due to some weird bugs in the update. I have a ghost image of the old drive and I am wondering if I can copy some of the ini files into the new install of fences 3 to reconstruct the layout. I don't see anyway to back it up. Also wondering if the pics of the layouts are stored in usable form i.e. jpgs and are retrievable?

Further note. a top level folder like videos dragged over say downloads indicates that it will be "moved to" but nothing seems to happen. dragging a custom item icon, e:\ (my external drive) over This PC seems to start a copy process which I hastened to stop. There was no confirmation. The only thing I can think is that the top level folders pictures, documents, music, are protected whereas folders on the external are not. The question is if accidenta

dragging a link or menu item over another... in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Some links like "This PC" (Computer), Pictures, Videos... etc can be dragged over another link... If one drags Pictures over to Videos will the contents of pictures be moved to Videos. (probably a rhetorical question.) Any way to prevent this. I can see someone dragging my E: external drive's contents into my picture folder! PB
