This screenshot shows how the zones appear when I open the FancyZone editor. Notice that it's only showing me one 4K monitor.

Supplemental Information
OS: Windows 11 22H2
4K monitors are connected to GTX1050ti
LG monitor is connected to motherboard (internal GPU)
Both are HDMI connected.

I tried reinstalling PowerToys, but it didn't help.

✔️ Expected Behavior

  1. I want the window sizes set in FancyZone to be reproduced as they are.
  2. FancyZone is not recognizing the second monitor.

Supplemental information about case 1
After setting the scale to 100% and setting the FancyZone, the scale can be set back to 125% to make it somewhat usable. However, since this is a backdoor technique, it would be most convenient if it could be set without any fiddling if possible.

❌ Actual Behavior

  1. In the current state, the editor properly saves the visible size, but when the scale is changed in Windows settings, FancyZone seems to fix it at 100% scale. If possible, I'd be happy if it could adjust according to the scale setting.
  2. I don't know why, but the FancyZone editor does not recognize the second monitor no matter what I do.

sorry, by checking similar topics, I managed to solve the problem.
I still don't understand why the FancyZone editor doesn't recognize the second monitor.
For those who have the same problem:

  • leave the monitor scale at 100 percent

With an altered scale, FancyZone won't work properly.
