Hi @mida-84 @ALERTua ,

We've got a possible fix floating around, but we can't really test it since it we don't have the same conditions locally.

Could you please try a debug build with the fix so we can validate it on your configuration? (It's an unsigned build , by the way)
https://github.com/jaimecbernardo/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.0.1-test-pr-19346-issue-19223

Please uninstall your current PowerToys installation, then install this debug build.
Replicate the bug, to see if it's still there or if the behavior is better.

Thank you, in advance.
/needinfo

@ALERTua , so the FancyZones Editor still doesn't open?

ALERTua · 2022-07-12T11:49:25Z

@jaimecbernardo, I uninstalled the production build, as you instructed, then installed the unsigned build using the link you gave, launched it, pressed FansyZones Editor hotkey, and saw the dialog window:

---------------------------
FancyZones Editor
---------------------------
Please report the bug to https://aka.ms/powerToysReportBug
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

then copypasted the log in my post above.

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-12T11:57:51Z

@ALERTua ,

A fuller /bugreport might be helpful here instead to check FZEditor logs instead of just the FancyZones logs. Thank you!

ghost · 2022-07-12T11:57:56Z

Hi there!

We need a bit more information to really debug this issue. Can you add a "Report Bug" zip file here? You right click on our system tray icon and just go to report bug. Then drag the zipfile from your desktop onto the GitHub comment box in this issue. Thanks!

To better explain the problem here, we expect a configuration that's able to get the DeviceID that represents the monitor that the display interface uses. This is an example from my PC.

We're then able to match that with display information in WMI:

Unfortunately, for the cases of this issue, it seems the display interface is not connected in the same way to the display, even though both are there:

@jaimecbernardo, here is my monitor report file... monitor_ids.txt

ALERTua · 2022-07-12T18:03:50Z

@jaimecbernardo
monitor_ids.txt

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-12T18:20:57Z

@ALERTua , Thank you. This is the configuration when FancyZones isn't working. Wonder what changes for it to work. Could you please set it to work and send the new monitor_ids.txt for comparison?

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-12T21:28:54Z

Hi @ALERTua @kellymenzel @eseinbinder

We've got a possible new fix for this. This adds a fallback for those cases where there's no monitor associated to the display device.

Could you please try a debug build with the fix so we can validate it on your configuration? (It's an unsigned build , by the way)

Please uninstall your current PowerToys installation, then install this debug build.
Replicate the bug, to see if it's still there or if the behavior is better.

Thank you, in advance.
Edit: removed the build from this post, since it had some issues.

kellymenzel · 2022-07-12T22:23:33Z

@jaimecbernardo, I can confirm that the debug build works on my Cloud PC and fixes the problem introduced in 0.60.0 for me.

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-13T07:04:37Z

Hi @ALERTua @kellymenzel @eseinbinder ,

This is the actual new fix. This adds a fallback for those cases where there's no monitor associated to the display device. With a cycle fix now too.

@jaimecbernardo, working configuration with 3 monitors enabled with the first test build without a fix
monitor_ids.txt

I can confirm that the new test build https://github.com/jaimecbernardo/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.0.1-test-fix-issue-19223-no-monitor-fallback-2 works for me in all monitor combinations!

@jaimecbernardo The latest v0.0.1-test-fix-issue-19223-no-monitor-fallback-2 build also works for me. Just installed it, works on my Cloud PC. Thanks!

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-13T15:33:07Z

Thanks everyone for helping debug and test this!
We'll include this fix in the next release.

jefflord · 2022-07-13T15:48:26Z

Another affirmative on this fix from me on my afflicted machine. Thanks!

eseinbinder · 2022-07-13T21:54:09Z

Thanks everyone for helping debug and test this! We'll include this fix in the next release.

works for me too. sorry for the delay in testing.

eseinbinder · 2022-07-13T21:57:38Z

so, ooc, for those of us who installed the fix to test it, should we leave it installed until v0.61.0 is released, at which time we uninstall, then install v0.61.0, or should we downgrade to 0.59.1 until 0.61.0 is released, and then just upgrade at that time? are there any advantages/disadvantages to either path? 🤔

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-14T08:22:45Z

The hot fix was released in 0.60.1: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.60.1
Thanks everyone for your help here!

jaimecbernardo · 2022-07-14T08:23:16Z

For those who installed the debug build, please uninstall it and install 0.60.1 instead, so you can continue receiving updates.
