Research direction
Start by reproducing the Command Palette failure on virtual desktop #2 in Windows 10 22H2 with the Win-Alt-Blank shortcut, using the reported 0.91.1 Microsoft Store installation and German localization. Trace the Command Palette entry point and virtual-desktop behavior; done means the palette opens reliably on the additional desktop.
