new info : maybe the problem is NON-ENGLISH characters in the name of Workspace

In my cmd scripts i use quotation marks only around the path part with the space. Maybe thats the solution here.

Example:

START C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Steam\Steam.exe START F:\"Riot Games"\"Riot Client"\RiotClientServices.exe --launch-product=league_of_legends --launch-patchline=live

In your case i would try this C:\Users\"KOUBA Trans"\Desktop\SMS.xlsx

I am talking about Powertoys workspaces not cmd itself.

This is working for me on Win11, PowerToys v0.84.1 when I surround the entire path in quotation marks.

Try updating to 0.84.1 and let us know if it persists (and what Windows OS version you are on).
