PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

When opening Powertoys Run using the keyboard shortcut, the window sometimes does not take keyboard focus, requiring me to click on the search bar in order to type. This is likely machine specific, but regardless, the window should be force-activated when it opens. I am not able to determine how to reliably reproduce this. It sometimes works but sometimes does not.

✔️ Expected Behavior

To press the keyboard shortcut and then begin typing my query.

❌ Actual Behavior

Use the keyboard shortcut. The window opens but does not have keyboard focus (the previously focused window still does). I need to click on the search bar with the mouse to use it

Other Software

Happens regardless of what software is open.

Hi @mkzeender Do you have this option enabled? If enabled, can you try to disable and check if the focus issue still persists?
