Actually I have 4 monitors and all are display port, I like to have all my icons on the top left monitor which is not the primary monitor.  I installed a new graphics driver and it moved everything to the primary monitor...including all the fences.   So I went to restore the snapshot, which nicely arranged them on the primary monitor.

The top monitors are 1440p resolution and the bottom ones are 4k, so there is a resolution difference, and moving them from the 4k to the 1440p monitors changed the size of the fences as well to be a lot bigger (most likely the resolution increase on the 4k monitors).

Just would like the snapshot restore to put them back where they were prior to things like a driver update.

Same issue. Dual monitors both using DP. Nvidia. Windows 10. One 4k and one 1080. Happens almost every boot. Restoring snapshot doesn't always work.

Also happens if I lock computer, turn screens off while in use (not unplugging), or computer goes into power save. 

Emailed support (#FFT-776-47999) and their response was "If you look at the forums you will see how activate they are... If you post in the forums, you will be helped." Well, I'm here looking in the forums almost two months later because I can't put up with this anymore. This still seems to be an unresolved issue and the only response from Stardock is "I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations." or blaming it on a USB connection most of the reports here aren't using?! Will someone just please answer/fix this?   

well one issue for me is that I have all the icons on a monitor that is NOT the primary, so setting that checkbox would for sure move them more than they do now.  They generally stay put, but a driver update at some point I think has disabled all but 1 monitor and that causes them to move.  This isn't something I blame fences for, it was when I said restore the snapshot that it didn't put them back on the non primary monitor.

So, it's annoying when it happens, but not a daily thing.  I'm also not the average user having 4 monitors along with 2 at one resolution and 2 at another.

no...I haven't used a usb monitor in....5 plus years...all display port.

Dear all, 

I have the same problem and that's why I save the configuration but it never succeed to apply it after. All fences remain on the "bad" screen. 

Thanks for your help

I currently have this problem every time my nvidia card does an update.  I run my fences on secondary monitor (primary is for full-screen games, so I try to keep primary taskbar on secondary monitor, as well as fences, so that I can access things without minimizing full-screen windowed games).  Both the taskbar and fences change, due to the driver updates.  Note:  this is a single graphics card, 2 identical monitors run via display port (well, display port to dvi-d cables).  The monitors are older widescreen 23" ones, so there should be no problems.  My guess, based on the fact that I get this for both the fences and the primary taskbar is that windows itself doesn't seem to understand that, since it tends to force full-screen games to the primary monitors, several of us want 'accessibility features' like the primary taskbar and fences, on separate monitors, and forces them where they should not be.  At least, thankfully, I've managed to iron out most of the other issues I've had with this (prior to using fences at all, it played havoc with my icons, and I still regularly have to close all open windows other than the nvidia update one when running an update), but I can have everything back to normal in about 2 minutes, if that.  It's just extremely frustrating.

I have figured out a consistent way to make it work. Two 4K monitors. Fences on both. Same problem as you turn on or off fences get messed up most of the time. So after turning back on what I found that works is to do the following: unplug both monitors from the back of the Computer (video card) ... then plug them back in in a specific order. Works every time. But you have to plug them back in in the correct order and wait about five seconds before you plug the second one in.

this developer should fix this problem!  Great product but not dependable. 

I know this is an older topic, but I still have this same issue.  Commonly, it happens every time I update my NVIDIA drivers.  I reset the layout.  The next time the PC restarts, it all goes back to the main screen.  Then I have to move and resize them again.  Then, they will stay until the next update.

That is my issue Basj!  I have been building my computer and fiddling around with stuff involving hooking up different monitors, changing ports, and doing all sorts of mischief.  I have that exact setting checked.  Guess I was scanning for something else and missed that setting in the interface.  Thanks.
