The error happens already on the stage where newly installed PT Run is launched. On startup, it tries to register toast notification via registry (see PublicAPIInstance ctor) but gets access denied error to HKCU key.

Judging from the callstack, that happened in Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp library, and 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID{dd5cacda-7c2e-4997-a62a-04a597b58f76}\LocalServer32' seems to miss \ after CLSID.

To verify that whether it's an installation issue, @1v4r, could you please open regedit and go to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{dd5cacda-7c2e-4997-a62a-04a597b58f76}\LocalServer32' and check whether you have Allow checked for both Full Control and Read there.

@mykhailopylyp perhaps we've updated Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp recently which now has this bug?

We had this issue reported for previous versions so don't think it's a case

Looks like duplicate of #11216
