Ok, so reinstalling (now in per-user mode, btw) fixed the issue for me. But it seems some of my settings are gone :/

Still, the cause of this issue should be looked in to

How was the upgrade installed. How did you install the prior version

Hi there!

We need a bit more information to really debug this issue. Can you add a "Report Bug" zip file here? You right click on our system tray icon and just go to report bug. Then drag the zipfile from your desktop onto the GitHub comment box in this issue. Thanks!

Originally probably via GitHub? Was a long time ago so not sure. The upgrade I installed via the auto updater after I got a notification.

That didn't do anything on the crashing version. Meanwhile I reinstalled, as I mentioned.

If you cannot diagnose the cause, feel free to close the issue as cannot reproduce.

Running the PowerToys applications with administrator privileges or modifying the security settings of the system may help resolve the issue with loading the PowerToys.Interop file.

I tried changing the security setting of PowerToys.Interop file which solved the issue.

Attaching /bugreport could help figuring out what happened here and preventing it from happen again. Thanks in advance

@stefansjfw As I said, I already uninstalled & reinstalled, so my installation will not resemble the crashing one anymore

Me too.

@stevenwdv Can you attach bug report? Thanks.

[stevenwdv]

@stefansjfw Hi, did you read my comment?

[stefansjfw]

I did. Logs are being preserved across versions/reinstalls and running bug report tool will collect everything and zip it.
