I just had the same error that was caused by my anti-malware's behavior blocker, even though it was flagged as safe. You might want to reinstall PT with any such software turned off or paused during the installation.

@up3ndra can you verify if you have the same problem with 0.20.1? https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.20.1

@OddSquirrel what anti-malware software are you using?

@OddSquirrel what anti-malware software are you using?

I'm using default windows security. I just removed old version and installed the new 0.20.1 with windows defender disabled. But still the same problem.

enricogior commented 4 years ago

@up3ndra the reported error is not clear, it shows an error loading the Settings and also loading PR Run. Can you provide more details on what exactly is happening? PT Run doesn't open and shows an error dialog? If you try to open the Settings, does an error appear or simply it doesn't work?

Sorry, I should have mentioned it. I'm using Emsisoft Enterprise Security.

@up3ndra Could you please try the following steps and see if this fix your issue :

  1. Uninstall PowerToys.
  2. Ensure that C:\Program Files\PowerToys folder is deleted. If not, manually delete it.
  3. Install Powertoys Version=0.20.1

Please follow the below steps in case this still doesn't fix your issue :

  1. Upload log files located at %userprofile%/appdata/local/microsoft/powertoys/powertoys run/logs
  2. Upload PowerLauncher.deps.json located at C:\Program Files\PowerToys\modules\launcher.

@crutkas @ryanbodrug-microsoft The program is trying to load Version=1.0.0.0 of Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Lib.dll but it should instead match PowerToys version after 0.19.0 release.

crutkas commented 4 years ago

What can we do to guard against this

crutkas commented 4 years ago

@enricogior just to verify, the exe installer will fully uninstall and delete the folder both in uninstall and upgrade. Correct?

If so, then we shouldn't have random MIA files?

enricogior commented 4 years ago

@crutkas yes, correct.

crutkas commented 4 years ago

Fixed in 0.23 of PowerToys. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/
