Regarding the PowerToys version number, the images embedded in your reply didn't get through. Can you just type the version number that is shown at the bottom of the PowerToys Settings general page?
Thank you.

My IT guys are telling me that Fancyzones (of PowerToys), is not compatible with Citrix Virtual Desktop. Is this true?

[LeviZapanta]

Hi All,

The issue we are experiencing is when trying to open Virtual Apps through Citrix Receiver client installed on Windows 10 1903.

The area activated when moving the app to it, but the app does not snap to the zone.

Thanks
Levi

I have the same problem,

First I noticed that Citrix apps, don't move at all with win + arrow left/right
So I made a small change to my registry:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard" /v TransparentKeyPassthrough /t REG_SZ /d Remote /f

Then I tried overriding windows shortcuts in FancyZones settings:
"Override Windows Snap hotkeys (win+arrow) to move windows between zones"

And moving the Citrix app though the windows keys, they still don't snap to the fancy zones (They do to the normal windows 10 zones)

:(

I also have the same issue, using Citrix Reciever 4.9.2000.21 and PowerToys 0.14.1.0.
Is there plans to fix this?

[GreatestFool]

Since it's been added to the v1.0 milestone, I assume it'll be fixed eventually. Just thought I'd mention that it's still an issue on version 0.19.2, for documentations sake at the very least.

[enricogior]

Tracking this issue in ~#6193~ https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/1466

[enricogior]

Is this still not working in 0.23? https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/v0.23.0/PowerToysSetup-0.23.0-x64.exe

[GreatestFool]

Haven't had time to test, but I should have time tomorrow so long that I don't forget.

[GreatestFool]

When I tested I could not snap a citrix virtualized app by manually doing so. Snapping by overriding the shortcut keys didn't work at all.

I think it is safe to assume the issue still persists.

[enricogior]

@GreatestFool
thanks for confirming the problem is still there.

[GreatestFool]

@enricogior
Np. I don't really keep that updated on releases, so gimme me a heads up next time you need to verify if this is still an issue or not.

[xenadmin]

Windows build number: 2004 19041.572
PowerToys version: v0.25.0
Citrix Workspace app 2009

Still doesn't work, FYI
