Microsoft PowerToys version

0.37.2

Running as admin

  • Yes

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I created two layouts with FancyZones Editor.

  1. Distributed Zones across first and second monitors.
  2. Zones only on my second monitor.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Apps pinned to zones should work in both the above configurations.

❌ Actual Behavior

The Layouts I created are not being honored by FancyZones. It always fallsback to "Priority Grid" Layout

Other Software

layout1

Is the snapshot of the layout I created across multiple monitors. After saving the layout, if I open FancyZones again I see the following error:
toys_error

Click OK

toys_error2

And finally FancyZones opens up with PowerGrid as the chosen layout:

toys_powergrid

@enricogior They have "Allow zones to span across monitors" enabled. I can do this style without an issue.

Interesting the data shows a negative number.

@praveen-pk priority grid is the default layout type.

@praveen-pk can you do a "Report bug" via system tray and upload your zip?

@crutkas what zip file do you want me to upload? Also "Report bug" do you mean by Feedback Hub?

Right click on the PowerToy system tray icon, go to "Report bug". It will generate a zip file on your desktop.
