I'm using the latest WindowTop version with Windows 11, when I create a PiP of any window it works and refreshes perfectly while I'm focused on the original window, but when I switch to another window, it freezes and keeps the last view of the window before leaving it. untill I go back to the original window, the PiP continues working and shows live preview perfectly and so on.
Is there any solution ?

What program is the window? I may be able to fix it quickly by applying existing fix like i already did with chrome, firefox, etc

This should work with Edge unless you try to minimize the Edge window while in PiP mode.
Do you minimize the Edge window while the PiP view is active?
This is something you can still do if you enabled the option to show the original window while in PiP view.

If so, this will cause the preview to freeze. PiP unable to preview minimized windows due to limitation by the OS.
If you want something close to "minimized," just uncheck the "Show Original Window" option.

Additionally, you might be using an older version.
In the past, it indeed didn’t work properly with a few apps like Edge, but it was fixed here:
#146

What version do you have installed?
Please ensure you have the latest version (5.26).
You can also check the version number in Settings → About tab.
