Hello and thanks for your message. Can you tell what happened before the issue? Was it at the start-up of PowerToys, or a specific module, or..?

Salim-F8 commented 7 months ago

Hello, thanks for the reply.

Nothing was happening before, PowerToys was idle at the system tray, I have it running on startup. So no specific module that I can tell.

It actually occured again after a system reboot. The log was appended.

Looked a bit into this error and it's kinda weird. References:

Desktop composition should always be enabled from Windows 8 and we should never receive WM_DWMCOMPOSITIONCHANGED. Also note that the code that handle the message double check if composition is enabled.

EDIT: OP and many users in duplicate issues reported screen flickering / turning black when this occur so it may be related to graphic cards driver.

@Salim-F8 Does this still happen? Could you try updating your graphic card driver if it's not up to date? /needinfo

Jay-o-Way commented 5 months ago

@crutkas prio-0 but also closed?

Soon after the issue disappeared. Dunno want triggered it to be frank, but I didn't update my GPU drivers in the meantime for sure. Sorry for the belated feedback.

@ethanfangg Do you know what the actual status of this issue is, at the moment?

Hi @Jay-o-Way , no one in the team managed to repro. Idea is try to merge https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/32118 and see if that brings reports down. Looks a bit worse, but it's better than a crash.

I'm experiencing the same issue, but I'm running PowerToys v0.81.0.0, which is the latest version at the time of this writing. I opened an issue for it the other day, but then I found this one, so I closed my issue and I'm now subscribing to this one.

Windows (not the OS, but the windows of any program like Notepad, vscode, etc.) freeze. Do not respond to clicks anymore. Mouse does still work when the screen is about to crash to black.

I have this issue happening every 2 hrs-ish. Not only when using the hotkey to open up PowerToys Run. I also noticed that the run window has no content when opening it just after a full crash.

Events in order:

  1. no interactions with windows possible, mouse movement works
  2. screen goes to black
  3. screen comes back with content of programs being redrawn. Except for Freecad, which gets stuck.
  4. PowerToys run shows no content in window 1st time
  5. PowerToys run shows content in window 2nd time

Graphics card is a ASRock AMD Radeon RX6750 XT 12GB with version from Device Manager properties: 30.0.15021.11005

Any tracing I can turn on to find out more? Due to the multiple crashes a day, I can have a relatively fast turnaround.

I was AFK and had this error log when I came back to my PC.
