FancyZones not applying after lock/sleep

[hadshaw13]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.73.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

Windows 11 22H2 Build - 22621.2134 2 Monitors (1uw and 1vert)

Wasn't able to get a screenshot as the bug is intermittent.

To reproduce (only appears occasionally):

• Lock PC
• Wait some time for the PC to (presumably) sleep
• Open the PC

✔️ Expected Behavior

Windows that were assigned to a zone to remain in that zone with the same sizing as before.

❌ Actual Behavior

Some windows will lose their inheritance to the Zone and will become free-moving Windows.

Due to this, they move slightly out of position and no longer switch between windows in a stack.

I then have to reassign all/most of my windows to their respective zones again.

Other Software

No response

Please refer to the screenshot, note windows overlapping one another and they have moved away from the taskbar, where they were previously anchored.

This issue is a duplicate of itself? Is this issue being tracked elsewhere?

[hadshaw13]

Not that I am aware of. I was a little confused as to why it was closed haha.

Note issue is still occuring on latest version of FancyZones

Please do not close, not resolved

[mainlinex]

Definitely not resolved. PowerToys still has to be restarted manually after hibernate.

Can we please get this re-opened? @nguyen-dows @mtodd @nborko
