Does this "XY Explorer" run the apps with elevated permissions?
There has been a change in how we track the active window on Windows since v0.12.1 (which is much more performant, but does have this elevated process limitation).
I've been considering adding back the old method as a fallback, which would perhaps resolve the issue you're facing here as well.
I tihink yes, in fact the problem also arise with office apps like world, excel, power point, acces, etc
