Area(s) with issue?

New+

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable the "new+" feature in PowerToys.
  2. Use "new+" to create a new file or folder with a template.
  3. Observe that the file or folder is created to the left of the mouse cursor position, often ending up on the adjacent monitor if you have multiple screens.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The new file or folder should be created at the exact position of the mouse cursor when the "new+" command is used.

❌ Actual Behavior

The new file or folder is created to the left of the mouse cursor's position, and on multi-monitor setups, it may end up on an adjacent screen. This can create confusion as it feels like no file or folder has been created.
