Description

Describe the bug

I hide the taskbar icon, when explorer was be restarted, the hidden taskbar icon will reappear.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.Use code App.MainWindow.IsShownInSwitchers = false;
2.Restart Explorer using Task Manager.

Expected behavior

At the same time, I tried to get the value of IsShownInSwitchers. Even though the taskbar icon has appeared, the value of IshownInSwitchers is still false.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with App.MainWindow.IsShownInSwitchers = false, then restart Explorer through Task Manager and compare the taskbar icon with the IsShownInSwitchers value. The issue is complete when the hidden icon remains hidden after Explorer restarts and the reported property remains consistent with that state.
