- If you encounter issues with elevated privileges software, try restarting WinXcorners as an administrator specially if you use those kind of elevated privileged software most of the time, otherwise triggering won't work due to the nature of separate privileges.
- If you encounter other unknown issues, please fill a bug report at the GitHub issues page.

Sometimes the application won't detect the screen edges if you are using (focused) an elevated privileged application. But you can always restart the application as administrator.

**Limitations**:
Build with Delphi 2006 onwards, third party units are in thirdparty and all rights belong to each of them, they're open source too.
