Actually, What is your layout assigned here. Win + Left would go to first zone. The concept of 'left' and 'right' isn't something we adopt with FancyZones as that doesn't work with how we deal with zones

I uploaded all the files when I submitted the bug, so they may clarify the layout? But I can tell you I have two zones, 1 and 2. 1 is on the left, and 2 is on the right. When I do Win+Left, it always goes to zone 2, and then a second Win+Left goes to zone 1. This is a single monitor setup, 3440x1440 resolution.

@tteshera
if you have this setting:

it's by design that win+right arrow moves to zone number 1, then numer 2 and so on. And win+left arrow moves from zone N to zone N-1.

If you want to move windows by position you have to select this options that support all four arrows to move in all directions:

As explained in the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzones#settings

This explanation resolves the issue. Thank you.
