FancyZones just playing the wrong monitor number

[insidertradingai]

Microsoft PowerToys version

v0.81.1

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones, FancyZones Editor

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a six-monitor configuration.
2. Open PowerToys and configure FancyZones.
3. Arrange the monitors in Display Settings in Windows.
4. Observe the monitor identification in FancyZones.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Monitors should be identified correctly according to their physical arrangement in Display Rearrangement on Windows Display Settings.

❌ Actual Behavior

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my multi-monitor setup. I have six monitors, but the system keeps incorrectly identifying the middle top monitor as Monitor 1 instead of Monitor 4. For example when I select a custom layout for monitor 1 in FancyZone it doesn't display the custom layout on Monitor 1 instead the Bug display it on Monitor 4.

Has anyone encountered this problem before or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
