Research direction
Start by reproducing the uninstall from Windows Installed apps and then check which PowerToys components remain in background processes or startup entries. Done means PowerToys is fully removed and no longer starts after reboot; the issue provides no file or test entry point, so the relevant installer and startup handling must first be located.
