Hi,

It would appear that someone auneeb https://github.com/auneeb has also added their zip file. THIS IS NOT MY FILE

Have just added the zip file as asked for below, also attached to this message.

Just tried twice, changing the "Activation Key" fixes the issue Geoff-Classic

Geoff-Classic commented 7 months ago

I was not aware of any “Activation Key”, this is the first time I’ve heard that I need one!

How can I use such a key when all I see on screen is a white box!!??

auneeb commented 7 months ago

Open the Powertoys app and click on Powertoys Run, you will see the key combination used to activate Powertoys Run change to a different combination and it will work.

I CANNOT get any display except a white box so I cannot do as you suggest with the "Activation Key"!
