Research direction
Start in the Power Display area and reproduce the issue by disabling monitor options, switching modes with Windows+P, restarting PowerToys, and using Refresh screens. Trace what happens to monitor settings across the display-mode change; done means the selected options remain unchanged and the flyout does not restore unsupported settings.
