Research direction
Reproduce the single-click tray interaction on Windows 11 Pro 25 H2 build 26200.7462 and compare it with the immediate double-click behavior and issue #43694. Trace the system tray interaction entry point; done means the tray drawer opens immediately on a single click, matching the expected behavior and the changelog claim.
