Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.100.2
### Installation method
GitHub
### Area(s) with issue?
Command Palette
### Steps to reproduce
This often happens after turning off and restarting. Sometimes restarting the component via the menu may fix it, but the issue persists on the next restart.
Also, after restarting, my Time Component might move to the left of the Task Manager section, but in reality, before I shut down, the Time Widget was on the right side of the Task Manager widget.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Command Palette issue after turning the component off and restarting, then inspect the attached PowerToysReport ZIP for hardware-detection errors. Compare the expected and actual screenshots, and verify that the performance monitor detects the hardware and widget ordering remains consistent after restart.
