Can't get Settings or Quick access to show

[briankorteweg]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.87.1

Installation method

Microsoft Store, PowerToys auto-update, GitHub

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

General, PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

Tried installing, reinstalling. Was previously working. I updated and I remember seeing some error associated with the Everything plugin but I assume that reinstalling / uninstalling would negate that. Deleted all files in between.

The settings and the quick access just don't open. I can right click the tray icon, but none of the options work aside from Documentation.
The error I get in the event viewer seems relevant:

Although ,if you can't access Settings, that might be hard to do 🤔
You can launch PowerToys\Tools\PowerToys.BugReportTool.exe directly, it should generate a bug report on your desktop.
