Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Begin by locating the existing keyboard-shortcut handling and screen-display control in PowerToys, then clarify the intended blackout and restore behavior for all screens. Done should include a shortcut that blacks out and restores every screen without requiring the Windows login password.
