Translation: PT Run doesn't open, tried to uninstall and reinstall and still doesn't work, changed shortcut and still doesn't open.

@oquendoG can you share your logs
%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\

[oquendoG]

Hi that's what I saw in that folder a JSON file

{"properties":{"search_result_preference":"most_recently_used","search_type_preference":"application_name","maximum_number_of_results":4,"open_powerlauncher":{"win":true,"ctrl":false,"alt":false,"shift":false,"code":32,"key":""},"open_file_location":{"win":false,"ctrl":false,"alt":false,"shift":false,"code":0,"key":""},"copy_path_location":{"win":false,"ctrl":false,"alt":false,"shift":false,"code":0,"key":""},"open_console":{"win":false,"ctrl":false,"alt":false,"shift":false,"code":0,"key":""},"override_win_r_key":false,"override_win_s_key":false,"ignore_hotkeys_in_fullscreen":false,"disable_drive_detection_warning":false,"clear_input_on_launch":false,"theme":0},"name":"PowerToys Run","version":"1.0"}

would be much easier if you could just zip up the entire
%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\ so we can just test to see if something is off across the board. Also gives us the logs.

[crutkas]

just drag the zip file onto the Github textbox here and the file then can be shared

I've the same issue. I check the logs but that's void. Other functions are working, but the PT Run doesn't work.

[crutkas]

@icarotovarish please share your stuff as well. %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\

Files as requested.

@enricogior, this issue will be hard to diagnosis due to the logging bug

[enricogior]

@crutkas
we can consider preparing the hotfix or if acceptable provide a private build.

Hi there, I'm experiencing the same issue on Powertoys V0.25.0. I'm running as Admin, and tried swapping the shortcut to Win-space to see if that helps.

I've added a zip file of what's in in %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\ - the installers had to go though as they were 20mb each, that's the only difference between what's on my system and this file hopefully.
PowerToys.zip

I really hope this is useful to share, I love this project and really enjoy using the new features that are added. I can't imagine using my PC without things like fancyzones, so it's only fair I upload things if there is a chance it will help out.

I've recently updated windows 10 to 20h2 and power toys to version 0.27 but the problem still continues

[oquendoG]

I've recently updated power toys to version 0.29 but the problem still continues

[crutkas]

@oquendoG, can you please open the command prompt and run dotnet --list-runtimes

[oquendoG]

This is the result

[enricogior]

@oquendoG
try installing 3.1.10 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.10-windows-x64-installer

[oquendoG]

I installed that version of donet and power toys 0.29.3 and the problem still continues

[oquendoG]

I'm thinking that an app could cause this problem, I'm using Stardock fences, does this app have any problem with power toys?

[enricogior]

@oquendoG
I would suggest to try quitting Stardock and see if that makes any difference.

I uninstalled fences but the problem still continues

There are two scenarios for this problem:

1. PowerLauncher.exe is not started when PowerToys.exe starts, this is now tracked in [Run] PowerLauncher.exe is NOT running when PowerToys starts #9017
2. PowerLauncher.exe is running but not responding to the shortcut key, this is now tracked in [Run] PowerLauncher.exe is running, but the shortcut key doesn't work #9018

Closing this as duplicate, please refer to #9017 or #9018 depending on your case.
Thanks.
