Hi! I have this problem too. I downloaded PowerToys yesterday, PTRun worked once and then wasn’t brought up by the Alt + Space combination. (I tried switching to another shortcut, but it didn't work.)

Same for me; keyboard shortcuts either don't work or are inconsistent.

PTRun - never got it to work.

Color Picker - never got it to work in standard or elevated run mode.

FancyZones worked once, but after a reboot it no longer allows snapping windows to the zones and the shortcut doesn't open the Zone Editor. Use of Shift key (checked/unchecked) didn't help.

Everything but powertoys run is working for me

Just updated to 0.20.1 and the issue still persists.

Same issue here. I've installed power toy from version 0.1x... but I saw the UI only once. Then it never showed again. I've tried several short cut but had no luck. I'm using v0.20.1 and still not working.
