@jaimecbernardo Many property from the wox porting are still present in PowerToysRunSettings: we don't have option for font. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/8bdbeb41d4fe143425648c153c06049d1865380e/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure/UserSettings/PowerToysRunSettings.cs#L201

Interesting. Wonder if that's what's causing it. Pretty weird that the user is crashing on initializing this 🤔 Let's just remove this I think. @andycianci , Did PowerToys Run work on any previous version for you or is this the first time you're installing it?

I am fine with cleaning up unused stuffs: I will open a PR for that 😃

Hi, this has been worked on for the 0.78 development cycle. 😄 Please update PowerToys to the latest: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases
