I have experienced the same issue in the past, but then it stopped working at all, whenever i try to type any character it freezes and then I have to manually end the task, I've deleted the "PowerToys Run" folder, disabbled the "run as admin" option and reinstalled the app many times and it's still not working!

I look forward for a solution for this(these) issues.

@Brehpy, @tfx2001
Can you please do a quick test for me: Please disable the plugins "Programs" and "VS Code Workspace" and restart the PowerToys application.

Is the long query time gone after doing this?

It still tasks a long time, but it's gone after disable "System Command".

That we don't miss understood each other. This issue isn't new in v0.57.0?

[tfx2001]

It is new in v0.57.0.

Do you have some special network adapters or many of them? /needinfo

[tfx2001]

I‘m using Docker Desktop, and it creates many network adapters.

[htcfreek]

I can reproduce it and working on a fix. (For me the query times not as high as for you but they are high).

[htcfreek]

@jaimecbernardo
I think this should be a hotfix because users with many net adapters (e.g. for docker containers) can't use PT Run without disabling the plugin.

[jaimecbernardo]

Sounds like a hotfix candidate indeed.

[jaimecbernardo]

Hi @tfx2001 ,

Could you please try a debug build with the fix so we can validate it on your configuration? (It's an unsigned build , by the way)
https://github.com/jaimecbernardo/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.0.1-test-pr-17490

Please uninstall your current PowerToys installation, then install this debug build.
Replicate the bug, to see if it's still there or if the behavior is better.

Please do it soon so we can validate and include in a hotfix.
Thank you, in advance.

[tfx2001]
