Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how PowerToys windows are created and rendered. Ensure they use Direct2D with DXGI setting to disable variable refresh rate by calling IDXGIFactory::CreateSwapChain with DXGI SWAP CHAIN FLAG ALLOW TEARING or setting IDXGISwapChain1::SetMaximumFrameLatency as described in Microsoft docs. See issue #5516 for context on settings window fix.
