Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the Power Display flyout and verify whether the same monitor is consistently omitted. Compare the detected monitor count with Windows' display settings, then use the PowerToys bug report data to narrow the affected display configuration. Done means all three connected monitors appear in the app and flyout.
