Steps to reproduce
Similar experience as with #30148
After updating from 0.74.1, guest windows created by VirtualBox does not allow me to activate zones while dragging it.
From what I can tell (via WinSpy++), the window has WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, WS_POPUP, WS_VISIBLE, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, WS_CLIPCHILDREN, WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE
and if I read things correctly, https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/c601a3e3e22d919ddb913faef1bc80b02999fe8d/src/modules/fancyzones/FancyZonesLib/FancyZonesWindowProcessing.cpp#L35-L46
explicitly prohibits it.
While personally it's not a huge deal, as the zone(s) I'd like it to snap into roughly matches windows snap to edge. It would be nice with either some more control inside fancyzones, like "Included apps"/"Exclude from default exclusion" for either broken, or hacky software (if that applies for virtualbox). A "I (pretend) to know what I'm doing, let me manage this window" checkbox or such :)
