@3kids5cats if you navigate to C:\Program Files\PowerToys\modules\launcher\Plugins the folder is there? Does the problem happen every time you restart PowerToys?

[3kids5cats]

Just looked, there is no plugins folder.. But power toys launches and operates fine, its when it says there is an update and tries to install that it fails with what I sent you

@3kids5cats digging in here. the exception above is from PowerToys Run not being able to actually run due to the plugin folder being MIA. But you're saying the installer is failing?

What anti-virus does your machine run? Where did you get the installer?
