Fences 4 still has the disappearing wallpaper problem

Fences 4, for which I paid money, has a problem that began - and not just for me - in a beta for a Fences 3 edition. The problem is that the desktop wallpaper disappears occasionally. This situation strikes me as fairly outrageous.

My system: Windows 10 Pro - 21H1 (2009: 19043); Fences 4.0.0.3.

I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations.

Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

We really do appreciate your feedback, thanks.

I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I press the "Show desktop" (minimize all windows) button on the far right of the taskbar the wallpaper disappears along with all windows. It tends to come back when I click on the desktop, but it's still annoying. Win 10 x64 using Fences 3.1.3.3.

Hello, seems I am having this issue as well.

Is there any fix for this yet?

Thanks.

The Stardock support team implicitly said that I was SOL re: this issue on Fences 3 and I should just buy Fences 4 to deal with it:

Fences 3 will not likely be getting any further updates I am afraid.

If you do install Fences 4 beta and still see the issue, we would very much like to know.

Well, I have bought Fences 4 and it's incredibly upsetting that this is still an issue.

If this is still happening for you, can you tell us how to recreate it?
