Microsoft PowerToys version

0.87.1.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

When Powertoys told me to update, I did so, and then it gave me a Something went wrong error message. I thought it'd go away after a restart, but it didn't. Every time PowerToys auto-starts in startup. It gives me the following error message.

Here's the error log:

✔️ Expected Behavior

At first, I didn't think much of it. But now PowerToys Run doesn't work anymore. I expected it to run like usual with dark mode and all.

❌ Actual Behavior

But, it's unresponsive plus on light mode by default for some reason.

Other Software

Not really.

Damn. Well, I guess I'll have to downgrade my PowerToys version then.

Okay, yeah. I fixed mine by changing the default Powertoys theme from Windows Default to Dark.
