I also see this but it depends on which other app/window has the focus when opening the new shortcut. It seems sometime the shortcuts open and then immediately closes. Also, if I click on the "Windows" button to see Windows shortcuts, it instead just closes the shortcut window completely.

I have this issue when trying to show the "Windows" tab (or when hitting the shortcut with the Powertoys Settings window open). If I open it with Edge browser selected, it opens fine, and I can pick the Powertoys tab or Edge, but clicking Windows makes the shortcut guide window flash a couple of times and disappear. Changing the Theme has no effect. Guessing there's some shortcut it doesn't like and isn't catching an exception.

Running Powertoys as Administrator on Win11 Pro.

For the crashing on launch, could you give this a try:

Step 1:

• Ctrl + D to minimize all apps and click on the desktop
• Use the SG hotkey
• Does it crash?

Step 2:
After that, try:

• Open File Explorer or Windows Terminal so the window has focus
• Use the SG hotkey
• Does it crash?
• If not, click on the Windows tab
• Does it crash?

I tried all that you suggested and while it does open in all 3 cases without crashing immediately, clicking on the Windows button to see Windows shortcuts, immediately closes the shortcuts window.

Also, I never see shortcuts for PowerToys at all - no section shown for that. I only see the current app's shortcuts and an icon to show Windows (which closes it all). In fact if a PT window is open, and I launch shortcuts, then it flashes open and then immediately closes without showing anything other than a brief blank shortcut window.

I open via ctrl+alt+spacebar; each time it opens on a portrait monitor it opens very tall (excellent) but each time, the list contents varies; sometimes full and sometimes short or shorter list. links show when Power Toys icon button clicked, but windows button closes all. Been trying to get a screenshot but each tool click makes the PT shortcut list disappear. Would be nice to have option to stay open till manually closed…for use to do multiple shortcut clicks. Nice that the list opens on whichever monitor (I use 3: 1 main landscape and 2 portrait (each different resolution)) I have my mouse pointer visible/positioned.
