Wonder if it's a Windows 10.0.22000.0 issue.

DWMWA_SYSTEMBACKDROP_TYPE I think is needed for Fluent UI but it's not available until Windows 11 Build 22621, according to the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwmwindowattribute

According to the stack, the crash happens due to DWMWINDOWATTRIBUTE.DWMWA_WINDOW_CORNER_PREFERENCE

PowerToys/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/MainWindow.xaml.cs

Line 201 in 2ba5fb7

DwmSetWindowAttribute(hWnd, attribute, ref preference, sizeof(uint));

which is supposed to be supported in Windows 11 Build 22000.

Pardon my directness, not an expert, but... Rounded corners have been around since the beginning of Windows 11, right? Are we sure we understand (the nature of) the error - and not pasting band-aids over band-aids?

@Ruzaid-aman I've created a local build https://github.com/mantaionut/PowerToys/releases/tag/rond_corner_crash which should fix your crash. Can you check if it fixes your issue?

[jaimecbernardo]

@Ruzaid-aman , please also uninstall your current installed PowerToys before trying any of these installers that we're using to check if the problem is fixed.
