it's not a bug, your powertoys is still running and using the file, so the installer cannot overwrite that file. Make sure to close powertoys, if you've already closed it and is it encountering this issue, check task manager, sometimes Powertoys can be closed, but PowerToys.Run is still open. Make sure these 2 processes aren't active in task manager image In the previous 2 version of installers, I can included logic to terminate the processes programatically, but that triggered malware warnings on some computers #81 #84 , so I removed it for this release.
