FancyZones deadlock
See original GitHub issueFancyZones stucks with deadlock.
Lock could be happening between FancyZones::MoveWindowIntoZoneByIndex and FancyZones::RegisterVirtualDesktopUpdates
Steps to reproduce
- set all FancyZones options on
- create virtual desktop
- apply zone layouts to all desktops
- snap windows to some zones (use same app on several layouts)
- switch virtual desktops back and forward as fast as possible
Actual behavior
PowerToys stops working: zones are not shown when you try to snap window and tray menu doesn’t open by clicking on PowerToys tray icon.
