Major problem with Fences and multiple second monitors

Every day when I move my Win7 laptop between work and home, Fences puts everything on the wrong monitor despite the laptop always being set as the main monitor.

This is a major problem and likely going to end my Fences trial early if there's no work-around or resolution available.

I've seen "preserve my desktop layout by storing my fences' positions on a per-screen-resolution basis" mentioned, but this setting doesn't change anything for me. I'm not sure this feature works at all, because often when I go to Fences configuration it's been randomly changed back to "preserve my desktop layout by scaling my Fences".

Yes - I`m getting the same problem plus multiple other annoyances with this program - it looked like such a good idea when I bought it, but I`m now heartily sick and tired of restarting my pc to unfreeze fences or icons - support are no damned use either, their "advice" was basically to reset it to its native state - i.e. start again and then to blame my video drivers ( which are both up to date and working with EVERY other program on the PC just fine), then just for jollys - to close the ticket without a proper fix. - Useless!! - uninstalling it, -& it will be a LONG time before I consider buying stardock programs again - if ever.

The same here. Worked fine for years and since a few weeks all icons freeze, sometimes more than once a day, and have to restart the computer.
For what I use it for: online flightsim, unacceptable!
Accidentally found out that if you restart and there is an open program that avoid that and you delete the restart, the icons did unfreeze.

Scaring that there is no reaction of Stardock. Going to look for other solutions. Someone other suggestions?
