Today, we are releasing an update for Fences 5 that delivers a couple of new enhancements as well compatibility improvements for the latest version of Windows 11. The build is rolling out now and you can download it by opening the configuration panel and clicking “Check for updates”.
New in this release is an improvement to the right-click menu on the desktop, we have elevated the ability to launch the Fences configuration panel from the top layer of the desktop right-click menu for Windows 11. Also updated in this release are changes to the configuration panel with the Backup option moved under Layouts in a new collapsible section.
With this update, Fences 5.80 is now fully compatible with the next release of Windows 11, version 24H2. We have included underlying improvements to the core experience of the application that are specifically designed to address the evolving landscape of Windows 11.
This release also highlights our ongoing efforts to keep the highest level of compatibility across our product suite with each new version of Windows. While the Windows 11 24H2 release that will ship later this year may appear to be another incremental improvement to the OS, there are some fundamental changes that require us to keep validating and testing our products to maintain the highest levels of quality and reliability.
If you are on an older version of Fences or haven’t tried Fences before, there has never been a better time to experience the best desktop enhancement for Windows. Earlier this year, we released Fences 5.5 with a new engine and with the updates released today, Fences is ready for the next major release of Windows 11.
