## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- Settings on the main window are reapplied after the taskbar is
re-created (e.g., after Windows Explorer restarts), restoring visibility
settings for the app switcher and taskbar button.
- Defensive handling of the property AppWindow.IsShownInSwitchers
controlling appearance in system representations such as ALT+TAB and the
taskbar, to avoid errors when Windows Explorer is not running (see
https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/8596).
- Prevents application startup failures when the Command Palette is
launched in environments without Windows Explorer.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified that the CmdPal main window taskbar button is not visible
after Explorer is restarted (without an attached debugger).
- Verified that CmdPal can be started when Explorer is not running.
- Verified that the CmdPal main window taskbar button is visible after
Explorer is restarted (if a debugger is attached to CmdPal).
