Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0,96.1
### Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
### Area(s) with issue?
General
### Steps to reproduce
Restart Windows. PowerToys window pops up (AS USUAL for half a year) with a false warning, that a hotkey is already taken - in ZoomIt.
But now - I can see the ZoomIt page of PowerToys and cannot close it. I can operate on the window, but cannot move it on the screen (so I don't see bottom part of the window).
Golden rule: do not improve something which works good. You will always fail.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Obvious: being able to move and close the PowerToys settings window.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
Cannot close and move PowerToys. Even stopping the task from task scheduler doesn't work. Why oh why you start if from task scheduler, while there is autorun folder, autorun registry key. Are they passe?
### Additional Information
Window 10 Pro
### Other Software
_No response_

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Reproduce the PowerToys settings window issue on Windows 10 Pro after restart, including the ZoomIt hotkey warning and task-scheduler launch; done means the window can be moved and closed normally.
