Steps to reproduce

I can't start the PowerToys program. This is a new installation on an old Windows 10 machine. I can see PowerToys in the system tray and PowerToys.Runner in my Task manager, but there's no actual window that pops up. From my system tray I can't access the Settings or the Quick Access, but I was able to Report Bug. I am running as administrator.
