Research direction
Start by reproducing the Command Palette launch failure while a display window is open, then compare focus behavior when another program is active. Clarify whether the fix covers only opening the palette or also the separate request to migrate PowerToys and OneNote searches; done means the agreed launch scenario works reliably.
