Very bugged blank window opens on startup #1438

Current behavior

On opening the app, DevToys opens two windows, one is a completely blank window with a Mica effect, and the other is the actual DevToys window (see the image in the Screenshots section). This is incredibly inconvenient as the window is rather large and does not move. It stays on top of every other window, so the only way to escape it is using PowerToys' AlwaysOnTop feature.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

  1. Open the app
  2. Windows duplicate; one empty, one the original DevToys window

Expected behavior

I should think this part is rather obvious: DevToys should not open a random window that stays on top of other windows.

Screenshots

Workaround

There is no workaround apart from closing the app, which makes the window disappear, or using PowerToys AlwaysOnTop feature to circumnavigate it. Obviously, neither are practical.

Affected platforms

Windows, Linux

Affected DevToys kind

DevToys (app with GUI)

DevToys Version

2.0-preview.5, x64 10.0.22631.4391

Relevant Assets/Logs

I learnt while attempting to open the log location, this bug also breaks Explorer somehow by applying a similar broken effect to the window that is opened by the Settings -> About pane (however this may be coincidental).

%localappdata%\DevToys\Logs is unavailable.
