I read the old issue from 2015 about Windows 10.

Is there anything to add to the blacklist manually for Windows 11 till it's included in a new release?

EDIT: I tried adding #32771 according to the official documentation here, but it doesn't seem to work.

note: a workaround might be to not use Alt as the main key for altdrag, but the windows key (which is usually less used)

That's actually a good point.

My computer can't run Windows 11 lol. It's not just the TPM requirement, but also my chipset/CPU is not supported. Maybe I'll try to by-pass it.

I suggest you use the "Window Spy" AutoHotkey script to determine the class name of the Alt+Tab window,
in this script you can check the Follow Mouse option and you should be able to see the the ahk_class value that has to be blacklisted. when pressing Alt+Tab and pointing the cursor to the said window.
A simple fix would be to add the ability to disable AltDrag when tab is pressed down, this would avoid any interaction with any Alt+Tab windows. This is the solution I used.

I myself have not seen yet any computers with windows 11 and have zero machines eligible for it.

You could also try to add Task Switching|* to the blacklist (if you are using the English edition of Win11), maybe the title of the window stayed the same from Win10...

Sorry to make so many posts but actually the item to blacklist to add should be: *|XamlExplorerHostIslandWindow
see RamonUnch/AltSnap#79 for more details

No worries, I work the same way, and the solution seems to work - cheers.
