Let’s get some logs. Also the fact this is installed via scoop could be the issue

@crutkas There are still many cases
Same here, PowerToys installed via Scoop. Doesn't seem to install context menu entries correctly.
So far this sounds like a scoop issue with is a non supported scenario as this stuff is added via the installer.
@Niefee you never provided logs also. /needinfo.
This is my work computer, and the company restricts the upload function. Can you share your logs? @keysking @C0Nd3Mnd
If this is scoop, their install scripts doesn’t always stay in sync with our push
As this has been out for a bit, their scripts should have this fixed by now with 0.66
Another way is to toggle it off then on in settings. That should remove it from the context menu and back again
