AltSnap not dragging/resiging anything unless restarted

Open FluffyDiscord opened this issue 7 months ago • 8 comments

I have AltDrag with autostart turned on. Sometimes, I don't know why, but more than not, dragging and resizing doesn't work. I have to quit the app, and start again manually to fix this. What gives?

Does it only happen when it just autostarted? or does it stops working after a while?

Please define "just started". More than a minute definitely passed, but not more than 10.

I don't think I ever experienced it stopped working once it was manualy restarted.

What I understood is that this issue only occurs because of autostart, is this right?

RamonUnch avatar May 25 '25 07:05 RamonUnch

Well, yes.

Maybe a delay can be added before autostart, this was done for scheduled task, but I never experienced this with usual autostart before. Maybe try to setup a scheduled task with a 10s delay, to see if it fixes the problem?

Will try, thanks

Otherwise you can try to use a batch file in the startup folder like this:

startAltSnap.bat

timeout 10
"C:\Path\To\AltSnap.exe"

Of course it will be annoying at startup

I seem to have the exact same issue, every reboot AltSnap has to be restarted or dragging just doesn't work.
