WindowChrome Windows 11 Support in 22.1 not working for me

Thank you for your post. We identified an issue with the logic used to detect if snap layouts are enabled and the fix will be in the next maintenance release.

To get them working on the current release, you should just need to toggle snap layouts off and back on. You can access the setting from Windows Settings > System > Multitasking > Snap windows > Show snap layouts.  This will create the registry value  "EnableSnapAssistFlyout" under key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" that indicates if snap layouts are enabled. This key is not present, by default, on a new install until the setting is modified at least once, and we incorrectly had the feature default to being disabled if the value was not defined in the key.

Great! Yes, I can confirm that this was the problem. Toggling the setting created the registry entry and now it's showing for me as well. 

thanks for the quick response!

I am also experiencing a similar issue, but with RibbonWindow. I've verified the registry entry you noted above is present and enabled.  Does the snap layout menu support feature in WindowChrome not apply to RibbonWindow?  

Hi Rick,

RibbonWindow uses a WindowChrome behind the scenes, so the same features are supported with that.  If you email our support address and mention this thread in your email, we can send you a preview build of the upcoming maintenance release to try and see if it resolves the issue for you.

Big thanks to Rick for isolating the issue. For the Snap Layouts feature to work correctly, your application's "app.manifest" file must indicate that Windows 10 & 11 (same GUID) are supported like in the following snippet.

Fun tip... the keyboard shortcut Win+Z will activate Snap Layouts for (apparently) any Window even if the flyout doesn't appear when you hover over the maximize/restore button.
