Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
vo.97.2
### Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
### Area(s) with issue?
Crop and Lock
### Steps to reproduce
Before when I would use this feature it created a smaller window that was controlled by the app that i cropped from and just that cropped section would update from the actual parent app. Now it closes the app and just puts it into a smaller window. I can not make any changes or updates to the original app like before
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
I expected it to act like it did in previous models: Before when I would use this feature it created a smaller window that was controlled by the app that i cropped from and just that cropped section would update from the actual parent app.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
Now it closes the app and just puts it into a smaller window. I can not make any changes or updates to the original app like before
### Additional Information
windows 11
### Other Software

Research direction
Start by reproducing the regression in Crop and Lock on Windows 11 using the e-sword Bible app or Restream. Compare the current behavior with the described earlier behavior: the cropped view should remain linked to the parent app so updates and changes are reflected without closing the original app. No file or test is mentioned, so locating the relevant subsystem will require repository research.
