The settings I had to change were slightly different for me (Windows 10 Pro version 1803):
Right-click on AltDrag.exe > Properties > Compatibility tab > Change high DPI settings:
Check the box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application".

I tried the suggested workaround. It now works as it should.

Workaround
Right-click on AltDrag.exe > Properties > Compatibility tab
Check the box for "Disable display scaling on high DPI displays"
Restart Alt-Drag
Now Alt-Drag behaves correctly no matter where in the window I start dragging from, even at native resolution.

This happens on my setup but only with some windows. I am on Windows 10. It happens regularly with Putty.exe windows, which also have the errant behavior of not being chosen for a move if I click on an area where Putty is on top of another window - the lower window ends up being moved instead. I tried the compatibility scaling fix and it did not help.

Hmm, I'm going to re-open this, because after reboot, the errant behavior is back. Might be because of how start-at-boot setup works??
from altdrag.
This is almost certainly because of the DPI settings. Did the workaround stop working after a reboot?
from altdrag.
Yes, I just did another test reboot. The errant behavior is back. If I then exit AltDrag (using tray and right-click menu), then start it again, it works.
So it basically seems that the start-at-boot somehow does not get or adhere to the Compatibility tab "Disable scaling" setting.
from altdrag.
Maybe you are elevating on startup and that somehow does not follow the compatibility settings?
from altdrag.
I do not have the "elevate" config setting enabled, that is all I know. I also checked in taskmgr that AltDrag runs as User, not Admin.

I will do more testing on this, but right now I don't have a solution. If anyone else has any input, let us know!

I'm seeing this as well. Windows 10. Often with steam windows, which are scaled by 2x due to high dpi settings (my own fault really. have a 4k screen and had to get win 10 purely for application scaling). Often the wrong window gets dragged and is teleported to the mouse.

I don't see the Compatibility tab in the settings. I have win10 and AltDrag 1.1. Did it go away? How else can one apply the suggested workaround?
I just got a 4k monitor and alt-drag doesn't work! I'm desperate for a fix (LOVE alt-drag!).
