PowerToy utility is in this case PowerToys Run.

herop commented 4 years ago

Understood. Makes sense. But is mentioned, though.

MaximeVts commented 4 years ago

I'm having the exact same issue, happened since I updated from 0.19 to 0.21.1 on version 0.19 I can find applications, but since the update, exactly like herop, I cannot find any.

by looking at the logs I have this error:

2020-09-10 15:22:46.9105|ERROR||------------- BEGIN Microsoft.Plugin.Program exception ------------- 2020-09-10 15:22:46.9272|ERROR|| Exception full name: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException Error status: KNOWN Class name: Win32 Calling method: LnkProgram Program path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\ODBC Data Sources (32-bit).lnk InnerException number: 1 Exception message: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I have another line of the exact same error but this time mentioning another link: Program path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Windows Media Player.lnk

@MaximeVts @herop Can you please try restarting the powertoys without administrator mode and see if that fixes your issue ? And, can you please share logs files present in C:\Users\{user}\appdata\local\microsoft\powertoys\powertoys run\Logs?

herop commented 4 years ago

No change at all. Logs.zip

MaximeVts commented 4 years ago

Same here, it doesn't change the result. Logs.zip

mmc00 commented 4 years ago

Same here, I deleted the index, rebuilt, changed the path of the index, reinstalled power toys and there was no change. It also happened to me when I upgraded from 0.19 to 0.21.1. logs.zip

@somil55

@MaximeVts I have tried a potential fix for your issue. Can you please check if this works by following steps below :

Uninstall Powertoys
Delete folder C:\Program Files\PowerToys, if present.
Extract MSI from .zip file below and install this MSI.

PowerToysSetup-0.21.2-x64.zip

Note: This is not an official build for PowerToys and is only for debugging purposes. Please uninstall it and switch to the latest official version.

MaximeVts commented 4 years ago

Seems your fix is working, I tried with and without administrator mode and it works in both cases:

JackDallas commented 4 years ago

@somil55 I'm having this issue as well and tried this fix, still seems to be broken for me, I do get some lnk files come up (vscode) but most apps are missing (my un-indexed drive is my 8tb external not the main C: drive)

Happy to run a debug build or provide logs :)

dsrivastavv commented 4 years ago

@JackDallas Can you please share logs at %userprofile%/appdata/local/microsoft/powertoys/PowerToys Run ?

crutkas commented 4 years ago

@herop and @mmc00 we'd love to work with you to help debug the issue. @somil55 and myself would like to do a teams call so we can see if we can't debug a bit more. Please email me, crutkas@microsoft.com

JackDallas commented 4 years ago

@JackDallas Can you please share logs at %userprofile%/appdata/local/microsoft/powertoys/PowerToys Run ?

Sure thing

dsrivastavv commented 4 years ago

@JackDallas Nothing in the logs you shared seems like a possible error causing this issue. Can you please write to @crutkas so we can setup a call ?

Still not working with the provided zip.

dsrivastavv commented 3 years ago

@herop Can you please try the following MSI and upload logs to help debug this issue. PowerToysSetup-0.23.1-x64.zip

herop commented 3 years ago

1) Uninstalled previous PT 2) The mentioned folder didn't exist 3) Installed your 0.23.1 MSI 4) Trying common and admin-mode Apparently it looks not good with the provided MSI:

herop commented 3 years ago

But I now have a very different idea:

Windows only very recently complained, Office applications would not be longer available
But sure enough they are
I can open and work with them with no issue at all
BUT: If I do PowerToys Run on other apps, they are shown as expected (see at the buttom) Office Apps: Others:

dsrivastavv commented 3 years ago

Uninstalled previous PT

The mentioned folder didn't exist

Installed your 0.23.1 MSI

Trying common and admin-mode Apparently it looks not good with the provided MSI:

@herop Can you please upload logs from %userprofile%/appdata/local/microsoft/powertoys/powertoys run/. The MSI is not a fix and meant to collect extra logs to help us debug this issue.

Also, the screenshot you shared for the "other apps" shows outlook as a result of the indexer plugin and not the program plugin, implying an issue with finding apps.

herop commented 3 years ago

2020-09-30.txt Sure.

crutkas commented 3 years ago

Working with @mmc00, we figured out the root cause. We were trying to get meta data off a stub file in onedrive. We'll have a hotfix.

htcfreek commented 3 years ago

This issue and the corresponding PR needs a tag fix:

"Hot Fix"
"Work in progress"

crutkas commented 3 years ago

Fixed in https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.23.2
