Area(s) with issue?

Steps to reproduce

Similar experience as with #30148

After updating from 0.74.1, guest windows created by VirtualBox does not allow me to activate zones while dragging it.

From what I can tell (via WinSpy++), the window has WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, WS_POPUP, WS_VISIBLE, WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, WS_CLIPCHILDREN, WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE

and if I read things correctly,

PowerToys/src/modules/fancyzones/FancyZonesLib/FancyZonesWindowProcessing.cpp

Lines 35 to 46 in c601a3e

	bool isPopup = FancyZonesWindowUtils::HasStyle(style, WS_POPUP);
	bool hasThickFrame = FancyZonesWindowUtils::HasStyle(style, WS_THICKFRAME);
	bool hasCaption = FancyZonesWindowUtils::HasStyle(style, WS_CAPTION);
	bool hasMinimizeMaximizeButtons = FancyZonesWindowUtils::HasStyle(style, WS_MINIMIZEBOX) || FancyZonesWindowUtils::HasStyle(style, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX);
	if (isPopup && !(hasThickFrame && (hasCaption || hasMinimizeMaximizeButtons)))
	{
	// popup windows we want to snap: e.g. Calculator, Telegram
	// popup windows we don't want to snap: start menu, notification popup, tray window, etc.
	// WS_CAPTION, WS_MINIMIZEBOX, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX are used for filtering out menus,
	// e.g., in Edge "Running as admin" menu when creating a new PowerToys issue.
	return ProcessabilityType::NonProcessablePopupWindow;
	}

explicitly prohibits it.

While personally it's not a huge deal, as the zone(s) I'd like it to snap into roughly matches windows snap to edge. It would be nice with either some more control inside fancyzones, like "Included apps"/"Exclude from default exclusion" for either broken, or hacky software (if that applies for virtualbox). A "I (pretend) to know what I'm doing, let me manage this window" checkbox or such :)
