@MihaiPopescu1 you cannot upload files via email, you have to do it via the web
I just follow «Reply to this email directly, », that is why I attached file to email. And just doing nothing, after I made the ZIP file, I found that Fancy zones work again. I was in Edge. Retested with current window (Chrome), doesn`t work. Strange!! Again: I have now only 4 windows oppened on desktop: 1-Chrome - not work, 2- Snipping tool - work ok 3- Chrome with camera web viewer (executing an app)- not working 4- Task Manager - not working
I will test more, by opening now:
It looks like you are not running PowerToys as administrator, that can case an issue when trying to manipulate applications running as administrator. Try running as administrator and retry the "other chrome" test

Thank you for replay. Please tell me how to do that by default, as it is loaded automatically at windows start. Indeed, after exit and run it again as admin all windows react OK with fancy zones.
You have to check this box on the settings page

This issue is now marked as resolved. If you have any follow-up questions, please don't hesitate to ask. You can find out more about PowerToys functionalities in our end-user documentation.
Thank you all. Everything is OK now
Microsoft PowerToys version
0.78.0
Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
Running as admin
None
Area(s) with issue?
FancyZones
Steps to reproduce
Suspend in Win11 (last update) may be problem. I think after suspend the zones becomes inactives. To reactivate one should go to settings/fancy zones - > disable ->enable.
✔️ Expected Behavior
Facncy zones should be always available (moving a window with SHIFT pressed).
❌ Actual Behavior
Fancy zones becomes inactives after a while (possible after suspend). To reactivate one should go to settings/fancy zones - > disable ->enable. Also, TASK MANAGER can NEVER use Fancy zones.
