• System installation
• Running as admin

My tests showed next results:

• Layout editor fully works
• Disabling built-in windows snap does not fix the issue
• Using "Override Windows Snap" feature does not crash FancyZones and allows to snap windows using keys
• Problem does reproduce with different display setups (1-3 displays, different resolutions, with and without amd vsr)
• Problem does not reproduce on versions from 0.88.0 up to 0.91.1
• Problem does reproduce on latest version
