Fences won't enable

I'm having an issue I've seen in other topics on this forum.  Fences was working great on the same computer with the same Windows 11 OS, but my system crashed and had to re-install Windows 11.  Installed in a clean partition using the CD. Reformatted the partition.  Fences won't enable and can't create a fence.  Right clicked on the desktop and pop-up menu keeps saying "Enable Fences".  I tried clicking that a number of times but fences still won't enable.

I've loaded and clean installed Version 4.0.7.2 a number of times.

The Windows 11 install is a clean install with only Chrome and Thunderbird installed above all the junk Microsoft puts on the system.  

I've tried all the hints in other topics and nothing is working.  I really like fences and would like to get this program to work.

System cpu is a i7-11700K 

32GB RAM

64bit OS

Windows 11 PRO

Please help.
