Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.100.2
### Installation method
WinGet
### Area(s) with issue?
Command Palette
### Steps to reproduce
Hard to say for sure - but after sleeping the laptop on occasion the Monitor list changes and the dock no longer shows in the right place - when manually selecting the right monitor the details of the dock are lost and do not follow - aka the CPU stats and any added dock items.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Since I only ever add the dock to my Primary Monitor it might solve this by an option to always pin to the primary Monitor.
Otherwise - it needs some way to work out which monitor is expected or if manually fixed not loose the details.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
I have to uninstall Powertoys to recover.
- Disable|Enable Dock
- Disable|Enable Command Pallet
- Close|Start PowerToys
- Restart Windows
None - of those seem to work
