Running as admin

None

Area(s) with issue?

PowerRename

Steps to reproduce

Hi @cschleter Is the "Show recently used string" option enabled in PowerRename settings? /needinfo

It is. PowerRename works correctly in File Explorer but not in the file utility that I use (FreeCommander XE). FreeCommander has always had some issues with it - it always opens 2 PowerRename windows when PowerRename is started from the context menu. I'll keep trying to figure out what is going on.

This looks like an issue external to PowerToys if it's occurring with a replacement 🤔
