Research direction

Start by locating the Power Display flyout implementation and reproduce the issue by opening it from the systray with different taskbar orientations. Trace how its position is selected. Done means the flyout opens beside its systray location instead of a hardcoded bottom-right position, with any supported placement setting persisting.
