Welcome / PowerToys Tour window

Steps to reproduce

If you don't already have 0.98 on your system:

1. Either upgrade an existing PowerToys installation to version 0.98 or install PowerToys on a fresh system
2. The What's New page should be shown when installation completes
3. Select Settings at the bottom-left

Alternatively, if you already have 0.98 on your system, you can repro the bug like this:

1. Close PowerToys runner from systray then open PowerShell and run:

# Save the real version
$real = Get-Content "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\PowerToys\last_version_run.json"

# Spoof the version to trigger the What's New page
'{"last_version":"v0.0.0"}' | Set-Content "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\PowerToys\last_version_run.json"

2. Run the PowerToys.exe runner. The What's New page should be shown because the last_version_run no longer matches
3. Select Settings in the bottom-left of the page
4. Confirm the blank Settings page is shown
5. Restore the 0.98 version information by running the following in PowerShell:

$real | Set-Content "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\PowerToys\last_version_run.json"

✔️ Expected Behavior

The Settings Home page is opened

❌ Actual Behavior

A blank Settings page is opened:

The user must then select Home to open the Home page.
