Fix: Fix a issue that change always on top settings won't take effect immediately (#45994)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request Fix #45993 Always on top have a window proc thread that will reload the settings once file watcher trigger a reload of settings. And always on top has a worker thread to read the settings at the same time. So it may happen worker thread will read the stale setting, as a result, user change settings, and try to invoke always on top, as if nothing has changed. As the issue's recording shows. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [X] Closes: #45993 <!-- - [ ] Closes: #yyy (add separate lines for additional resolved issues) --> - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
