Windows 11

What happened?

I enable the option to hide portals on double click, when i hide the portals and click Show desktop or Win+D from another application and then double click to show the hidden portals it's not showing all the portal, 1 of the portals remain hidden, even if my mouse hover to the area.

I read there is someone with same problem with mine but his problem solved on it's own. Here

The problem is explained here: https://github.com/Ross-Patterson/Portals-Desktop-Organization/issues/101#issuecomment-1523977037

The workaround is also given in the link above. Its not something I can fix I don't think, it seems to be a problem with windows itself. Workaround is essentially to create a dummy hidden portal window and make it bottom of the stack, then that one will be the one affected, but its always hidden anyway so it doesnt matter.
