Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; first locate the system-tray menu implementation and how Windhawk reloads mods or restarts. Confirm whether the request is for a mod reload, an application restart, or both; done means the agreed action is available from the tray's right-click menu and works after returning from the lock screen.
