Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.356]
PowerToys version: 0.11.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use FancyZones for a while and use modern apps like Mail and Calculator.
  2. See the registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SuperFancyZones\AppZoneHistory

Expected behavior

For modern apps, AppZoneHistory should keep track of the package name rather than the name of the exe that created the window. For example, with Calculator it should be Microsoft.WindowsCalculator.

Actual behavior

For modern apps it appears FancyZones is repeatedly storing values for ApplicationFrameHost.exe. This executable is used by all modern apps to create host windows and does not represent the running modern app. Unless I'm missing something important, storing and recalling values for ApplicationFrameHost.exe provides little value and could potentially lead to docking modern apps in the wrong zones.
