Same here on Windows 11 24H2. Even did a uninstall and deleted %LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys before installing v0.85.0.

Hello, I'm also having this issue with latest v0.85.0

I have to manually disable Awake, wait a few minutes and then reenable it after every restart to load it (Fast startup off).

This is what I found in Event Viewer:

Something that I am implementing here that will hopefully help in future releases is retry logic for setting the icon. Right now, once it fails once, it fails, but maybe it's worth trying a few more times before giving up. Stay tuned.

Thank you. I figure that it disappears every time I restart Explorer.exe.
