Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Please ensure that the Focus Management for Text Input Works correctly on the Maximized App or any other open app when Power Toys Always on Top is there. Currently, the Focus directly shifts to the Desktop instead of the Next Open App. This makes the Text Input on the Desktop instead of the Other Opened App where the Text Input must go. Please enhance the focus management of the Power Toys when using Always on Top so that the Focus Management automatically shifts to the next open app instead of jumping onto the desktop.
### Scenario when this would be used?
This Enhancement should be applicable only when using Power Toys Always on Top Functionality.

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the PowerToys Always on Top focus-management entry point and reproduce the behavior with a maximized app and another open app; done means text input moves to the next open app rather than the desktop when Always on Top is active.
