ColorPicker Hotkey don't work and I can't use the software as a result.

[Mina-Ragy]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.63.0

Running as admin

• [X] Yes

Area(s) with issue?

ColorPicker

Steps to reproduce

• The hotkey to open color picker is not recognized.
• This didn't happen in 0.61
• I tested on 2 separate devices one windows 10 the other windows 11 with no luck.
• I usually set the hotkey to Windows + Q. I tried Ctrl + Q and Ctrl + Shift + Q and neither of them worked.

I tried to roll back to 0.61 but I can't because I have a newer version installed, and I don't want to lose all my customizations just yet.

Thank you for the awesome software

✔️ Expected Behavior

ColorPicker to open on pressing the hotkey Windows + Q

❌ Actual Behavior

I have no way to access the color picker I press the hotkey and nothing.

Other Software

Ditto (hotkeys work there perfectly) Snagit (hotkeys work)

Hello Taras! Thank you for getting back.

I managed to solve the issue by manually disabling and enabling all powertoys applications.

Best, Mina

I am facing the same problem, shortcut key works only once we install the update but it no longer works after that. I am running power toys as an admin on startup. I switched off all tools, and restarted pc then also it won't show up. The original app by @martinchrzan works very well.
