PowerToys Run periodically disabling itself

Open Feldherren opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.70.0

Installation method

GitHub

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

Install PowerToys. Enable PowerToys Run.

Come back some time later, try to access PowerToys Run via the shortcut (either default or custom).

✔️ Expected Behavior

PowerToys Run prompt comes up

❌ Actual Behavior

PowerToys Run does not show up. Opening up the PowerToys program itself reveals that PowerToys Run has been disabled.

Sorry I don't have better steps for replication, but I'm just periodically and seemingly-randomly finding that PowerToys Run is disabled one day. I haven't noticed anything connecting each instance of it being disabled; it isn't updating that causes it, because I just updated PowerToys and it's still enabled.

I'm also experiencing this issue. I turn off my PC every night and the next day some modules are disabled. The major ones that toggle off for me are fancyzones and keyboard manager.

I haven't seen it recur recently.
