Periodically stops working, needs to restart

[ajkessel]

I've had a problem for a few years where after some time AltDrag stops working. It's still in the systray, but I can't bring anything up with right-click, and windows can't be alt-dragged. The workaround is to kill the process and restart it, but I'd really like to find out why this is happening and fix it. Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot?

I'm on Windows 10 22H2 (19045.4894). I don't think there is anything odd in my ini file, but I've attached it here.

I have the same problem as you, my system is also win10, is there any solution?

I compiled from source and now I see this occasional error generated in the log:

N failed in file h, line 1504.
Error: T (0)

L

Not sure how to interpret that since the function and filename are not correct, but perhaps it's a clue to what's happening.

Глюченная программка AltDrag. Не реагирует на одновременное нажатие кнопки на клавиатуре и мыши для центрирования окна. Приходиться перезапускать программку. Жаль! Мимо.

the hang bug was fixed a while back here #133

basically on newer Windows versions when DPI changes, and when going out of sleep mode, the Explorer broadcasts the TaskBarCreated mesage. AltDrag then tries to re-create the tray in an infinite loop, but it cannot because the tray is already created.

This lead me to your fork -- thanks for the comment. It is a relief to see a version under more active development.
