@jeansagi Just curious. Open Windows Settings > Personalize > Background and see if the second image in the Recent Images section is the one that is showing as your Fence background. I only use one monitor, but I have found that this second image can, intermittently, become my Fence background. I have also found that, in DeskScapes 2026, Desktop Effects > Entire Background can cause this issue. If you have a Desktop Effects > Entire Background set, try turning this No Effe

Thanks for your reply. I am relieved that my taskbar customization with Start11v2 will continue to work. :grin:

Will Start11v2 be Compatible with the New Windows Taskbar? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I'm curious if Stardock has been testing Start11v2 with the new taskbar features (available in the Windows 26220.9022 Beta version now) for moving and resizing the taskbar. This feature will most likely be included for everyone in the 26H2 release of Windows in September or October of this year. I really like the Start11v2 Enhanced taskbar features, especially the taskbar button appearance settings, and would hate to lose them when 26H2 drops. Has anyone running 26220.9022

Crazy, right? [quote who="rramsey" reply="3996397" id="542077"] And now it is working again. Apparently I just had to go in and change all of the settings and turn everything off, then back on again.

Windows 11 Pro 25H2 26200.8894; Fences 6.5.2.7 If I install and run Fences in a Sandbox by itself it works as expected. After closing the Sandbox, if I install Fences and run with DeskScapes 26.0.1.1 disabled, it works as expected. If I then enable DeskScapes 26.0.1.1 (with a Fence on the Desktop), the desktop background flashes from bright to dim with an Explorer window open, and flashes between the desktop background and totally black desktop background when manipula

I agree. All it will take is a human error or a bug to unleash AI from it's confines. Remember the Cloudflare incident back in November and December of 2025 that wreaked havoc on the internet for days.

Yes, I have seen several articles on this happening. It's a little scarry for sure. The spammers and hackers are making good use of AI to infiltrate the internet, especially IoT devices like TV's and now vacuum cleaners! It hasn't effected me yet (knock-on-wood), but like Jeff says – sooner, not later! Stay safe everyone. pelaird
