Hi,

I tried out the 0.8 Demo software on Windows 11.

Unfortunately simply opening Windows explorer and opening any image, will make the overlay move to the background (or something).

I have to select the overlay in the taskbar again.

Is this a known issue or only my system?

If this can be fixed, I will probably support on patreon.

Thanks.

In the Tools menu, you can check Prevent the overlay to be minimized. If that doesn't help, be sure to update your GPU drivers.

Thanks for the advice.

I tested some more and seem to be getting closer to the root cause.

How to NOT reproduce the issue: use the `Photos Legacy` app!
I am happy I found this.

How to reproduce the previous issue:

  1. In Windows 11, open Explorer.
  2. Go to a folder with photos  (mosaic view).
    Censoring is workin fine.
  3. Open any picture with the `Photos` app.
    Censoring is workin fine.
  4. Close the photo by pressing `X` in the top right corner of ALT+F4. (The effect is the same for both)
    Censoring is no longer working fine.
    The censoring overlay seems to pull back behind Explorer.

Workaround: hover over the taskbar `photo` program and close the photo by clicking `x` there.


I tried version 0.6 which does not have the `Prevent the overlay to be minimized` option and 0.8 which has it.
It doesn't make a difference for the issue.

I updated the driver for my GPU Radeon RX550/550 Series and rebooted though it does not seem to make a difference.
