Closing PowerToys and restarting it fixed this.
So not important, but I just wanted to file this bug as it was suggested.

This is odd as that name space is WinForms?!?

Same problem,

windows: 10 20H2
version: 0.31.2

[enricogior]

@ramonsmits
are you also running PowerToys on German locale?

[ramonsmits]

@enricogior No I'm not, I'm running Windows in en-US with Dutch formatting.

It is now working again without issues.

[crutkas]

@enricogior, #9734 has same WindowTop error in the logs

[crutkas]

Actually, looking at this log and from #9734 i think we're trying to load an image that isn't there and that is what is actually failing.

This log shows files from a file server and the other one was from onedrive, who's lnk may not be downloaded.

[JoshKeegan]

I seem to be having the same problem (or at least similar):
2021-02-23.txt

[yuyoyuppe]

If we look at the WindowTop function where the crash happens, we see that it only calls GetScreen before doing some math. There, we see that we use things from Screen, which is an alias to that dll

PowerToys/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/MainWindow.xaml.cs

Line 23 in 612e9f8

using Screen = System.Windows.Forms.Screen;

So, as I understand, since we don't do any I/O there, dotnet runtlme tries to load the dll, and only does that when that code is executed, and cannot find it for some reason.

[enricogior]

The initial investigation showed this may be a runtime bug, moving to 0.39.

[crutkas]

@yuyoyuppe / @mykhailopylyp this error happens a ton, this shouldn't be closed out as can't repro

[yuyoyuppe]

As I understand, that would be solved by migration to dotnet 5?

[crutkas]

it is theory

[yuyoyuppe]

We need to investigate how .NET applications resolve their required DLLs, and add some diagnostic logic to check whether the DLLs are actually present.

[dedavis6797]

How's this coming along? Appears we've had this in progress since June.

[yuyoyuppe]

I think this might be caused by the same issue as #12354.

[jaimecbernardo]

@Synertry , Could you please check if you still have this issue on 0.43?

[Synertry]

This was a one-time experience for me.
I am running version 0.43 on 3 devices with daily use of the Run function.
Can't repro

[dedavis6797]

Per the comment: #12354 (comment), marking this as fix-committed unless the issue resurfaces in 0.43.

[dedavis6797]

Resolved with the release of v0.45.
