1 week ago Today, I experienced another driver crash. After recovery, the first time I ran PowerToys Run, it displayed a frosted white screen with no content. However, pressing Esc and running it a second time made it function normally again. FancyZones is all right. Please find the latest zip file attached.PowerToysReport_2024-10-10-17-14-23.zip
Microsoft PowerToys version
0.85.1
Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
Running as admin
No
Area(s) with issue?
PowerToys Run, FancyZones, FancyZones Editor
Steps to reproduce
Dear Developers,
I've recently switched to an AMD GPU and have been experiencing frequent driver crashes. When the crash occurs, the screen goes black for 1-2 seconds, after which almost all software recovers except for certain PowerToys functionalities, specifically PowerToys Run and FancyZones. I haven't paid much attention to other components.
PowerToys Display Issue: Post-crash, FancyZones only shows a shaded area without any content, and PowerToys Run displays an empty candidate list.
Affected Versions: This issue affects both the latest version (0.85.1) and all previous versions that I have used.
Hypothesis: AMD GPU driver crashes typically generate a Windows event with ID 4101. One approach could be to monitor this event and re-render PowerToys when it is triggered.
Reproduction Steps: Due to the random nature of the driver crashes, I am unable to provide precise steps to reproduce the issue.
I hope this information helps in diagnosing and resolving the bug. Thank you for your assistance!
