Current Behavior

App stops listening after switching windows (even if switched back later)

Expected Behavior

App should continue listening in background

Or at least resume listening when reactivated

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open MAUI samples project
2. Launch it on "Windows Machine"
3. Open "Essentials" -> "SpeechToText"
4. Click "StartListenAsync"
5. Say "Hello" - text appears under Language Output
6. Switch to Visual Studio (or anywhere else)
7. Say "Is it me you're looking for?" - nothing appears in the sample app window
8. Switch back to the sample app
9. Say "Is it me you're looking for?" - still nothing
10. Repeat 4 - 9 but this time don't switch windows - you will see all the text recognized
