Problem Description

I tryed portable mode and then everything gone wrong, some plugings were not working, and the results of the searchs changed, for example alt+space then settings (at this point the settings of flow launcher with logo would appear) but this changed and just appear files that contain "settings" word

I turned off again the Portable mode as i noted this.... but i got an error, something like i should delete some %appdata% FL folder, so i desinstalled FL, and clean all registry issues with CCleaner, restarted my computer and reinstalled FL. it appears with portable mode-OFF as it should, but again... NOT all commands are working, i tried to "reinstall" plugins but FL says that it is already installed.

Also if i write "settings" or "exit" it not works as FL functions, they works as file search.

I was very happy and motivated installed and gettin more efficient at my workflow, what could i do to get its functionallity back?

I regret a lot to try that "portable mode" i without the appropiate knowledge, now i f*ckd up my FL and even resintallation fails to solve the issue.

Thank you for your attention

Check yt command not working but appeared ON and fully installed

NEW INFORMATION

1 When i restart my computer and lounch FL for first time, IT WORKS!!!! but then if i close the search bar and call it again... after some time it wont work again... like if another process imhibits it after windows is allready start

2 if start taskmannager (ctrl+alt+supr) FL start to work fine with all comands, but if i close taskmannager FL remain to fail with pluging commands this is VERY WEIRD in my opinion!

3 The thask mannager should be back and open, if i minimize it.. then it would lost its power to help FL UaiH411 working again ONLY IF with taskmannager open and behind FL

Hi, from the screenshot it looks like you have PowerToys installed, which is probably what is appearing when you press alt + space because it uses the same keyboard shortcut. Turn off PowerToy's Run and you should see flow when pressing alt+space. You can also change Flow's keyboard shortcut via its settings.
