'Run' does not work with win+space combo #13517
Comments
We did make some changes in 0.47 for PowerToys Run to use a keyboard shortcut, in order to fix some focus issues. When registering the shortcut fails, PowerToys Run still falls back to using the low level keyboard hook as before. @kalokng , Right-click on the PowerToys icon in the tray menu and select Report Bug |
I am using Windows 10, 20H2, build 19042.1237 Here is the bug report: |
From the logs, it seems that PowerToys Run did try to set the low-level keyboard hook:
I think I know what might be happening. The low-level keyboard hook is now registered by PowerToys Run itself, which doesn't run elevated. Can you confirm that Win+Space works on non-elevated windows? |
Yes you are right, after running PowerToys in non-elevated mode, i can use Win+Space as shortcut key |
Still, it'd be good to have it work on elevated windows when PowerToys runs elevated as well, like before. |
Shipped with 0.47.1 |
Issue kind of still exists for me. I'm on v0.47.1 and Win+Space combo does not work when Visual Studio is in focus. Any idea why? |

@daletman , do you have the new setting to use the global keyboard hook turned on ? |
