Steps to reproduce

Reboot PC. PowerToys is among the startup applications. Laptop is connected to two external monitors and all three monitors are configured with FancyZone layouts. Shift-drag a window to where a FancyZone was previously created. FancyZone layouts for the two external monitors are switched. However, the monitors are numbered as they were when the layouts were originally configured.

I'm having the same issue.

Looking for %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\FancyZones\zones-settings.json, the file does not exist, and making changes to my zones does not create the file.

PowerToys itself is set to always run as administrator incase it matters.
