Seems like the problem temporarily solves if you restart the computer with fancyzones deactivated, and after the restart you activate again FZ.

It happens to me too. This is most noticeable when using the mouse scroll to switch between different virtual desktops with Windhawk. With FancyZones disabled, it's fast as a bullet, with it enabled there's a huge delay.
