Windows floating pet remains click-through and cannot be dragged #41465

Title: Windows floating pet remains click-through and cannot be dragged

Environment:

  • Windows 11 Pro, Build 26200, 64-bit
  • ChatGPT/Codex desktop app 26.825.4187.0
  • Display: 2560×1440, 100% scaling

Expected:
The floating pet should receive mouse input and be draggable.

Actual:
The pet remains click-through. Clicking or dragging it selects the window underneath, so the pet cannot be moved.

Troubleshooting already attempted:

  • Fully restarted the app
  • Reset the Windows app data
  • Tucked away and woke the pet again
  • Switched to another built-in pet
  • Temporarily stopped other transparent-overlay applications
  • Confirmed there is no Store update available

The issue persists after all steps. OS-level hit testing shows that clicks at the pet’s position are routed to the window behind it instead of the pet overlay.
