Powertoys: how to enable fancyzones in startup

[stevedipaola]

How do you setup up fancyzones with a particular zone setting forever - that is so it starts as such on reboot in the startup apps.

Should just retain what you last picked and have PowerToys launch on startup w/ FZ enabled.

If it doesn't, then we have a bug.

@stevedipaola any chance you can respond?

Hi there I'm having a similar Issue. In my current setup I have 4 separate virtual desktops all with different zones setup to my liking. I have also set the the "Run at Statup" option. However, whenever I open the laptop (both reboot and simple wake from hibernation) all my settings are messed up. Sometimes there are zones set but the incorrect ones and sometimes they just don't show at all. You can find my settings below.

Same error. I have two monitors with the same zones defined and after restart I have to open the app manually.

In my case, after "Sleep" works fine.

@N1x0
we are fixing a bug related to what you described, the fix should be available in 0.18

@xavik0f2
are you also using Virtual Desktops?

[xavik0f2]

Hi @enricogior

I am not sure if this is what you are asking me:

@xavik0f2
I'll assume you are not using Virtual Desktops.
In any case we will release 0.18 around the 20th of May, it will contain several fixes that may also solve the problem you are experiencing.

closing due to @stevedipaola not following up.

@xavik0f2 we think we fixed your issue in 0.18
