Unable to open the main window
See original GitHub issueEnvironment
Windows build number: 10.0.18362.32
PowerToys version: 0.11.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable):
Steps to reproduce
Reboot.
Expected behavior
An icon should appear in system tray, on which I can double click to open the main window. Or I should be able to open the main window by clicking PowerToys in the start menu.
Actual behavior
No icon appears in system tray. (Though it was there right after install&run before I reboot my machine.) Clicking on PowerToys in start menu brings up a dialog asking for privielge escalation, but nothing happens after then, no matter I click “yes” or “no”.
The PowerToys seems to be running. I hold WIN and I see the shortcut hints. I hold down SHIFT and drag windows and I see FancyZone react. However, my FancyZone configuration disappears. Now I only have one zone that takes up the whole screen.

One work around: Open task manager, look for “PowerToys Runner” (PowerToys.exe), right click on it and select “end task”. Then you can reopen it from start menu as if you have not checked “start at login”.
This is now fixed in PowerToys 0.14.0 https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases
