Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in FancyZones on Windows 11 with PowerToys 0.100.2, applying different layouts to multiple desktops. Compare the saved and displayed layout for each desktop and trace the FancyZones handling of per-desktop configuration. Done means each desktop retains and displays its own screen layout.
