I also have a problem - Color picker still works after being turned off in the settings.

@ivan100sic I see this as opposite issues? @PrzemyslawTusinski opened bug about color picker not starting, but you report that it still works - do you refer to running PT as admin as well?
Does it open for you - you just cannot close it?

Sorry for the confusion, for me, that happens when running PT as non-admin.

Me too!
