I cannot reproduce this. Does this heppen every time you type in recycle bin?

I am also experiencing this issue. I just use PowerToys Run normally by pressing Win+R and search or execute applications, and the PowerToys.Run process just consumes all of my system memory. (Sorry that I am not able to give specific reproduction steps, as I just use the functionality in a very standard way). Below is a screenshot:

I am currently on PowerToys v0.77.0.

This issue didn't used to exist before in v0.6x.x, I only upgraded from v0.6x straight to v0.77 like 2 days ago, and am already encountering this issue.

I also confirm this issue. Consumes all available RAM and leads to system freeze!
