Where Does Fences Store Layout Snapshots?
Fences files desktop layout snapshots in a Stardock Backups folder, with a registry key as the alternative.
Last updated
Stardock documents Fences snapshots plainly in its help center. Layout backups land as files in a Backups folder under the Stardock AppData tree, restorable with previews from settings.
The registry key alternative exports the live layout directly for single shot moves. Version differences shift menu names between Layout and Backups headings without moving the files. Daily snapshots make desktop disasters reversible.
Where Fences stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Stardock\Fences\Backups
Snapshot files live here for transfer and restore. The HKCU Software Stardock Fences key exports the live layout as the alternative.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move layouts to a new PC?
Save a snapshot, copy the Backups folder contents to the new PC, and restore through Fences settings. Registry export of the Fences key works as the alternative route. Snapshots preview before applying.
My snapshots are years old. Why?
Snapshots live in Backups with timestamps; stale files there mean snapshots stopped running. Check the backup schedule in settings and confirm the default location never moved.
