PowerToys crash after update by start up and ask for debugger. I had this issue during the last 3 Month with several Microsoft apps like Calculator, WindowsTerminal and VisualStudio after update (all solved already). It looks like the same error is now happening with PowerToys.

Indeed, looks like a bug made it into .NET 8.0.3 : https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Visual-Studio-1793-crashes-during-star/10614986

This looks like it was fixed in .net 8.0.4
dotnet/runtime#99796
We'll likely release a hotfix once 8.0.4 is released. (should be soon since "Patch Tuesday" is supposed to be tomorrow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/releases-and-support#servicing-updates )

@jaimecbernardo,
I updated today to the new preview and crashes any longer happen. From my side the issue can be closed.
Thanks a lot for the fix.

Thanks a lot for verifying :) 0.80.1 updated to .NET 8.0.4, which was where the crash was coming from.

I had the same issues with the Calculator, Terminal, and then PowerToys as described in the start post (except VS). Also on an old dual-core CPU.

After auto-updating to 0.80.0 PT crashed at the start. I uninstalled it and reinstalled v. 0.80.0 manually with the same result - crashing at the start. Then I downgraded to v. 0.79.0 and everything worked fine again.

Now, after the fix was released with v. 0.80.1, I auto-updated my v. 0.79.0 to this newest version and everything works fine. I don't see problems with PowerToys at the program start or accessing settings.
